To test if orofacial somatosensory perception can be modulated by experimental thermal application in healthy human. ⋯ The results support clinical experiences that cooling may alleviates pain both locally and generally.

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has been repeatedly shown to be comparably accurate to direct cortical stimulation (DCS) for rolandic region mapping. However, there are no data on its use for recurrent gliomas in which scarring and radiotherapy can impair nTMS. We therefore evaluated the accuracy of nTMS versus DCS and functional MRI (fMRI) in recurrent gliomas compared to initially operated tumors. ⋯ nTMS is also applicable in recurrent tumors.
