I know that are some preliminary guidelines for safe and effective use of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in moderate to severe Traumatic Brain Injury but what is your opinion about neuronal reorganization (particularly language) in severe non-focal brain lesions? The current rationale for TMS use in stroke patients doesn´t quite fit a “TBI brain”. Besides the immediate risk of seizure could also exist some risk of interfering with (good) neuroplasticity specifically in language?
Thank you in advance!
