Diagnostic and Rehabilitative perspective of transcranial magnetic stimulation. A narrative review

Abstract

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive electrical cortical stimulation technique that works on electromagnetic induction principles to achieve neuromodulation and neurostimulation. It has emerged as a promising and enviable technique with excellent tolerance, minimal risk, and unprecedented ability to study neurophysiology and neuroplasticity of the brain for research with a potential in therapeutics. So in conclusion, the use of this technique has shown to be a novel non-pharmacological, diagnostic, and therapeutic tool in a variety of neurological disorders, however, its applicability and use in children is only emerging and is the focus of this review.
