Abstract

Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is proved to be the most efficient protocol of rTMS inducing neuroplasticity-like aftereffects. TBS-induced aftereffects depend on the pattern of stimulation. The aim of the study was to investigate the aftereffects of iTBS repeated every 5 min for 3 times (repeated iTBS) over the left primary motor cortex (LM1) by means of the amplitudes of motor evoked potential (MEP) evoked from the left (LMEP) and right (RMEP) M1 and their correlation with the brain oscillation. Each subject came for two sessions to have EEG with auditory-triggered shoulder flexion and extension action and MEPs measurements before and after repeated iTBS. Results showed that repeated iTBS suppressed LMEPs (mean change = -26.26%; range from -4.8 to -49.64%, p
