Abstract
Pediatric applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation are rapidly expanding, but lack the safety data established for adults. Transcranial magnetic stimulation-induced neurocardiogenic syncope may represent an age-dependent adverse event that is essentially undescribed in the transcranial magnetic stimulation literature. We report on 2 adolescents (of 10 children studied) with transcranial magnetic stimulation-related neurocardiogenic syncope, identify modifiable risk factors, and suggest measures to improve the safety of future pediatric transcranial magnetic stimulation studies.Entities:
