Abstract :
This paper focuses on the refractory period of the nerve fibers in train-pulsed magnetic nerve stimulation. We simulated nerve excitation elicited by a train of pulsed magnetic stimulation using a figure-of-eight coil. We used the parameters of the Frankenhaeuser-Huxley model. The simulation suggests that the refractory period is reduced with the increase of pulsed current flowing in a stimulating coil
