What this Trial Is About
This study investigates the immediate effects of different parameters (frequency, intensity, and pulse number) of peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on cortical excitability in healthy individuals. Using a randomized, double-blind crossover design, the research aims to identify optimal stimulation protocols for modulating neural activity. Outcomes include measurements of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), intracortical inhibition (ICI), and facilitation (ICF). Findings may enhance non-invasive therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders.
