The Immediate Effects of Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation of the Cerebellar Vermis on Cerebral Cortical Excitability During a Balance Task in Healthy Individuals: A Pilot Study

Objective: This pilot study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of single-session intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) on the cerebellar vermis during a balance task, which could unveil the changes of cerebral cortical excitability in healthy individuals.Subjects: A total of seven righ...

Each task consisted of 15 s of standing and 20 s of resting. Real-time changes in cerebral cortex oxygen concentrations were monitored with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). During the task, changes in blood oxygen concentration were recorded and converted into the mean HbO2 for statistical analysis.Results: After stimulation, the mean HbO2 in the left SMA (P = 0.029) and right SMA (P = 0.043) significantly increased compared with baseline. However, no significant changes of mean HbO2 were found in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal lobe (P > 0.05).Conclusion: Single-session iTBS on the cerebellar vermis in healthy adults can increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex in the bilateral supplementary motor areas during balance tasks.Clinical Trial Registration: [www.ClinicalTrials.gov], identifier [ChiCTR2100048915].Hui-Xin TanHui-Xin TanQing-Chuan WeiQing-Chuan WeiYi ChenYi ChenYun-Juan XieYun-Juan XieQi-Fan GuoQi-Fan GuoLin HeLin HeQiang GaoQiang GaoFrontiers Media S.A.articleintermittent theta-burst stimulationcerebellar vermisbalancefunctional near-infrared spectroscopytranscrancial magnetic stimulation (TMS)Neurosciences.
