Abstract: The aim of the this study was to investigate the influence of external transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in parkinson's diseased (PD) patients using a whole-head 122-channel magnetometer SQUID and Fourier statistical analysis. The examined group consisted of 20 patients (12 males and 8 females; mean age 65 years: range 49-80 years) The TMS was in the order of pico Tesla(pT) and was applied on the above patients with proper field characteristics, which were obtained prior to TMS(magnetic field amplitude: 1-7.5pT, frequency: the á -rhythm of the patient:8-13Hz).
The MEG recordings after the application of TMS was shown a rapid attenuation of the high abnormal activity by an increase of the á-rhythm. The patient's responses to the TMS were a feeling of relaxation and partial or complete disappearance of tremor, muscular ache and levodopa induced dyskinesias as well as rapid reversed visuospatial impairment, which were followed by a corresponding improvement and normalization ot the MEG.
