Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Epileptic Patients:Usefulness and Safety
Neurol 40:1132-1133, Tassinari,C.A.,et al, 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We studied 58 patients with partial or generalized epilepsy who had transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)of the brain motor regions.Short- term monitoring disclosed that the stimulation did not provoke seizures or EEG changes in any patient.Long-term follow-up disclosed that the epileptic condition was not made worse by TMS.TMS,as currently used for monitoring conduction in central motor pathways,does not induce seizures in drug-treated epileptic patients.
