Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease, which is caused by transient brain dysfunction due to sudden abnormal discharges of neurons.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a neuroelectrophysiological technique developed based on transcranial magnetic stimulation that regulates the excitability of the cerebral cortex, presenting the advantages of painless, non-invasiveness, good safety and less adverse events.In addition, rTMS is widely used in experimental research and clinical treatment, which has a high efficacy on the treatment of central nervous system diseases, and important value for the detection and treatment of pediatric epilepsy.This paper reviews the principle, mechanism, application and safety of rTMS in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy.
