Dermatomyositis Presenting with Isolated Dysphagia: A Case Report: Inyoung Lee, Hak-In Lee, Ha Young Choi, Kee Hong Park, Sooyoung Kim, Eunhee Sohn; Korean J Neuromuscul Disord 2022;14(2):30-34. Published online December 31, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.46518/kjnmd.2022.14.2.30

We report a case of a 75-year-old woman who was diagnosed with dermatomyositis presenting with isolated dysphagia. There were no obvious cranial nerve deficits with normal motor grade in all the limbs in neurological examinations, but a suspicious rash was observed in the anterior chest. The serum creatine kinase was 306 IU/L, and active myopathic changes in bilateral limb muscles were observed in the electromyography test. Muscle biopsy from vastus lateralis showed perivascular infiltration of mononuclear inflammatory cells, which was compatible with dermatomyositis. She had responded to oral prednisolone and azathioprine.

Review Article

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for neuropathic pain: Sooyoung Kim, Eun Kyoung Lee, Eunhee Sohn; Ann Clin Neurophysiol 2022;24(2):53-58. Published online October 31, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.14253/acn.2022.24.2.53

Noninvasive stimulation of the nervous system for treating chronic neuropathic pain has received attention because of its tolerability and relative efficacy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a representative method of noninvasive brain stimulation. Evidence-based guidelines on therapeutic use of rTMS have been proposed recently for several neurological diseases. These guidelines recommend treating neuropathic pain by applying high-frequency (≥ 5 Hz) rTMS to the primary motor cortex contralateral to the painful side. This review summarizes the mechanisms and guidelines of rTMS for treating neuropathic pain, and proposes directions for future research.
