title: [Magnetic stimulation of the human nervous system. Theoretic basis and clinical application].
abstract: Magnetic stimulation of the nervous system is a new technique introduced in 1985 by Barker, Jalinous and Freeston. Using short pulses of a time-varying magnetic field it allows a noninvasive stimulation of the motor cortex and deeply placed peripheral nerves. The authors presented basic principles and applications of this method. Stimulation procedures were described and the problem of safety and possible side-effects was discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of the method were presented in comparison to electrical stimulation. Preliminary results of the clinical studies conducted chiefly in patients with multiple sclerosis and cervical spondylosis were reviewed.
