Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and epilepsy: A brief essay

Abstract

During the last three decades, many studies have been conducted in the field of treatment with non-invasive methods. In this way, researchers try to use alternative methods including the use of electromagnetic waves in the treatment of diseases. As a result, the therapeutic use of electromagnetic waves in the treatment of neurological diseases has made significant progress. Among the various techniques that have revolutionized the non-invasive treatment of neurological disorders, there is a remarkable technique called Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). On the other hand, there is a wide range of neurological conditions (like epilepsy) that are somewhat drug-resistant or can only be controlled with high-risk treatments. In this article, the effect of rTMS on epilepsy is investigated.
