Abstract

In four conscious patients who had electrodes implanted in the cervical epidural space for the control of pain, we recorded corticospinal volleys evoked by single‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the motor cortex before and after a 20 s period of continuous theta‐burst stimulation ...
