Short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) or paired-pulse SICI is defined as the ratio of the response after a conditioning pulse equal to 80% of resting motor threshold (RMT) is administered 3 ms prior to the signaling pulse divided by motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a neurophysiologic test for assessing upper motor neuron function. Change in SICI will be assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) after treatment with 900 mg/day or 600 mg/day of ezogabine vs. matched oral placebo.
