TMS can be used clinically to measure activity and function of specific brain circuits in humans, most commonly with single or paired magnetic pulses.<ref name=diagnostic1 /> The most widely accepted use is in measuring the connection between the [[primary motor cortex]] of the [[central nervous system]] and the [[peripheral nervous system]] to evaluate damage related to past or progressive neurologic insult.<ref name=diagnostic1 /><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Rossini PM, Rossi S | title = Transcranial magnetic stimulation: diagnostic, therapeutic, and research potential | journal = Neurology | volume = 68 | issue = 7 | pages = 484–488 | date = February 2007 | pmid = 17296913 | doi = 10.1212/01.wnl.0000250268.13789.b2 | s2cid = 19629888 }}</ref><ref name="Dimyan">{{cite journal | vauthors = Dimyan MA, Cohen LG | title = Contribution of transcranial magnetic stimulation to the understanding of functional recovery mechanisms after stroke | journal = Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair | volume = 24 | issue = 2 | pages = 125–135 | date = February 2010 | pmid = 19767591 | pmc = 2945387 | doi = 10.1177/1545968309345270 }}</ref><ref name="Nowak">{{cite journal | vauthors = Nowak DA, Bösl K, Podubeckà J, Carey JR | title = Noninvasive brain stimulation and motor recovery after stroke | journal = Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience | volume = 28 | issue = 4 | pages = 531–544 | year = 2010 | pmid = 20714076 | doi = 10.3233/RNN-2010-0552 }}</ref> TMS has utility as a diagnostic instrument for [[myelopathy]], [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]], and [[multiple sclerosis]].<ref name="Chen2008">{{cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=Robert |last2=Cros |first2=Didier |last3=Curra |first3=Antonio |last4=Di Lazzaro |first4=Vincenzo |last5=Lefaucheur |first5=Jean-Pascal |last6=Magistris |first6=Michel R. |last7=Mills |first7=Kerry |last8=Rösler |first8=Kai M. |last9=Triggs |first9=William J. |last10=Ugawa |first10=Yoshikazu |last11=Ziemann |first11=Ulf |title=The clinical diagnostic utility of transcranial magnetic stimulation: Report of an IFCN committee |journal=Clinical Neurophysiology |date=March 2008 |volume=119 |issue=3 |pages=504–532 |doi=10.1016/j.clinph.2007.10.014}}</ref>
