Modulatory effect of trans-spinal magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation on diaphragmatic activity following cervical spinal cord contusion in the rat.
Spine Journal : Official Journal of the North American Spine Society 2023 September 28
BACKGROUND: Magnetic stimulation can non-invasively modulate the neuronal excitability through different stimulatory patterns.
PURPOSE: The present study hypothesized that trans-spinal magnetic stimulation with intermittent theta burst stimulatory pattern can modulate respiratory motor outputs in a pre-clinical rat model of cervical spinal cord injury.
STUDY DESIGN: In vivo animal study.
METHODS: The effect of trans-spinal magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation on diaphragmatic activity was assessed in adult rats with unilateral cervical spinal cord contusion at 2 weeks post-injury.
RESULTS: The results demonstrated that unilateral cervical spinal cord contusion significantly attenuated the inspiratory activity and motor evoked potential of the diaphragm. Trans-spinal magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation significantly increased the inspiratory activity of the diaphragm in cervical spinal cord contused rats. Inspiratory bursting was also recruited by trans-spinal magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation in the rats without diaphragmatic activity after cervical spinal cord injury. In addition, trans-spinal magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation is associated with increases in oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that trans-spinal magnetic intermittent theta burst stimulation can induce respiratory neuroplasticity.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: We propose that trans-spinal theta burst magnetic stimulation may be considered a potential rehabilitative strategy for improving the respiratory activity after cervical spinal cord injury. This will require future clinical study.
