Применение ритмической транскраниальной магнитной стимуляции при боковом амиотрофическом склерозе

Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive muscular weakness due to cerebral and spinal motoneurons death. The lack of effective drugs, the severity of the disease and fatality lead to the necessity of finding new treatments for ALS. We evaluate the effectiveness of rTMS with bulbar syndrome with predominance of dysarthria in 22 patients with ALS. All patients finished the course rTMS completely. No negative effects or adverse events during the procedures have been identified.
