Description

DESCRIPTION

QTMS LogoQTMS Cortical Excitability Protocols for Solo TMS Operators

QtracW is increasingly being used for microneurography, muscle excitability testing and cortical excitability testing with transcranial magnetic stimulation.  Although control of magnetic stimulators has been possible for several years under standard QtracS protocols, Prof. Hugh Bostock and his colleagues at QTMS Science Ltd. have recently launched a new QTMSG recording suite specifically aimed at TMS users, allowing a solo operator to run QtracW TMS protocols and obtain standardized recordings automatically.  This software is now available exclusively from Digitimer Ltd.

Major features of QTMS

In addition to resting motor threshold (RMT), stimulus response function (SRF) and cortical silent period (CSP), this QTMSG suite comprises short interval intracortical inhibition and facilitation (SICI, SICF), long interval cortical inhibition (LICI), and short latency afferent inhibition (SAI).  In each case, conventional tests can be compared directly with two corresponding threshold-tracking versions, serial and parallel.  In the serial tracking versions, as in the TRONDNF nerve excitability protocols, test-alone stimuli on one channel are compared with conditioning+test stimuli on another, and the interstimulus interval (ISI)changed in steps.

FAQs

I am interested in using the QTMS protocols, what equipment do I need?
Anyone interested in using the QTMS protocols will need active QtracW and QTMS licences. In terms of hardware, QtracW requires a compatible National Instruments DAQ interface, a suitable EMG amplifier (with analogue signal output) and a magnetic stimulator. Recommended magnetic stimulators are the Magstim BiStim and Deymed Duomag.
I want to purchase a QTMS licence but only have 3 months remaining on my QtracW licence. How can I proceed?
QTMS licences are charged at a monthly rate, but for a minimum duration of 12 months. As a result, it would be necessary for you to purchase an extension for your QtracSP dongle licence so it does not expire before the minimum 12 months licence time of QTMS has run out.
I understand there is a discount for academic users, does this also apply to hospital-based researchers?
Yes, clinical and academic researchers who are employing the software as part of their role within a university or hospital are entitled to a 50% discount. Users employed by pharmaceutical companies, private research organisations or CRO's pay the full price.
I want to use my Magstim BiStim for this, do I need a cable?
Yes, you will need a pair of cables which we can supply. Magstim BiStim users can request a set of cables free of charge when they purchase their first QTMS licence. Replacements are available for purchase from Digitimer.
