Objective: Comparative assessment of best conventional with best theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols on human motor cortex excitability. Methods: Stimulation of dominant hand abductor digiti minimi muscle representation of motor cortex in 9 healthy right handed subjects utilising two different MagPro stimulators to generate TMS pulses of distinct monophasic, half sine and biphasic shape with anteriorly or posteriorly directed current flow, measuring resting and active motor threshold and motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude. Comparison of two different conventional rTMS an…
