In this study, line navigated and electric field navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based motor mappings were compared to each other for the first time using a clinical setting. Fitting the distinctively different theoretical approaches of these neuronavigation techniques, significant clinical differences could be observed even at low patient numbers. Findings monotonously tended towards an inferior clinical suitability and technical sensitivity of line navigated TMS when compared to electric field navigated TMS based motor mapping. These significant clinical impacts of neuronavigation differences should be considered when describing clinical applications of nTMS in the future.
