To note, none of the other occasionally tested protocols (mono polar STIM or 50/70/130 Hz or even 4-4.5 V) provided better results. b Better turning in bed, nighttime, with respect to PPTg-OFF condition. c Improved rigidity (left arms) and slightly improved finger tapping, bilaterally, with respects
Magnetic nerve stimulation (MNS) using a novel figure-8 magnetic coil was compared with conventional electric nerve stimulation (ENS) in normal subjects and in patients with disorders of the peripheral nervous system. In contrast to previously tested coils, the virtual cathode of the novel coil was
Lumbosacral roots could be tested either by means of magnetic coil stimulation\* or electrically using needle electrode inserted to the laminar level.' We studied 15 normal subjects and 20 patients with lumbosacral root disorders to compare these stimulation techniques. The magnetic stimulator with
