Abstract
Repetitive magnetic stimulation is able to reduce spastic tone increase after applying it at the spinal cord. It was also found to induce frequency-dependent changes in H-reflex. In a small pilot investigation we stimulated a patient with severe spasticity of the lower limbs and applied different stimulation frequencies. The aim was to look for a clinical measurable effect of spastic reduction depending on the applied frequency. We were unable to show such a dependency, but could confirm the spastic-reducing effects of a peripheral repetitive magnetic stimulation using supratheshold intensities.
