PG - 575-581 LID - S0165-1781(17)32069-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.psychres.2018.06.014 [doi] AB - Impaired short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) elicited by paired-pulse TMS (ppTMS) has emerged as one of the most consistent TMS findings in patients with schizophrenia. Reduction of SICI has been reproducibly found, suggesting that SICI may be a new biomarker indexing the inhibitory dysfunction in schizophrenia. This study evaluated whether SICI has the test-retest reliability suitable for clinical trial and research applications. SICIs, intracortical facilitation (ICF), and other ppTMS effects were obtained using inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs) from 1 to 500 ms, on 2 occasions about 3-4 weeks apart in patients with schizophrenia and healthy individuals. Acceptable test-retest reliabilities were found for SICI (at 1 and 3 ms ISIs) in both patients and controls (all intraclass correlation coefficients r > 0.6). However, test-retest reliability in longer ISIs and in ICF were modest or poor. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrated the acceptable reliability of SICI measure in patients with schizophrenia. The data support SICI as a reliable biomarker for schizophrenia.
