There is a difference between a seizure and a syncopal spell. Before submitting a letter to the editor about a TMS-related spell or seizure, please download and watch this video which demonstrates all of the changes that can occur when patients experience syncope. It is rather eye-opening.
No one was hurt in the production of this video, which was supplied by Dr. Walter Paulus. Please also look over these powerpoint slides pertaining to TMS seizures, supplied by Dr. Pascual-Leone in Boston.
