- Lead Sponsor
- Shinshu University
- Brief Summary
Each participant experienced three different stimulation frequencies (1, 10 and 50 Hz) and durations (20, 40 and 60 min). The outcome measure was the change in primary motor cortex excitability using the MEP ratio. We defined the optimal combination within nine different settings inducing more satisfying responses. The combination of stimulation frequency and stimulation time that maximized the desirability value was 10 Hz and 40 min, respectively.
