Résumé

We aimed at evaluating the amplitude changes of the motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by of low-frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) in10 patients with primary insomnia (PI) and in 10 age-matched healthy controls. Median peak-to-peak MEP amplitudes were assessed in all subjects at three times: at baseline (T Resting motor threshold (RMT) and MEPs amplitude did not differ between the two groups at T The lack of MEP inhibition reflects an altered response to LF rTMS in patients with PI. These rTMS findings are indicative of an altered cortical plasticity in inhibitory circuits within M1 in PI. Subjects with PI exhibited an impairment of the LTD-like mechanisms induced by inhibitory rTMS, thus providing further support to the involvement of GABA neurotransmission in the pathophysiology of PI.

BACKGROUND
We aimed at evaluating the amplitude changes of the motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by of low-frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) in10 patients with primary insomnia (PI) and in 10 age-matched healthy controls.
METHODS
Median peak-to-peak MEP amplitudes were assessed in all subjects at three times: at baseline (T
RESULTS
Resting motor threshold (RMT) and MEPs amplitude did not differ between the two groups at T
CONCLUSIONS
The lack of MEP inhibition reflects an altered response to LF rTMS in patients with PI. These rTMS findings are indicative of an altered cortical plasticity in inhibitory circuits within M1 in PI. Subjects with PI exhibited an impairment of the LTD-like mechanisms induced by inhibitory rTMS, thus providing further support to the involvement of GABA neurotransmission in the pathophysiology of PI.
