Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) utilizing a small and strong neodymium (NdFeB) magnet is a non-invasive brain stimulation method with advantages of the safety, simplicity, and inexpensiveness. While tSMS has demonstrated the ability to suppress brain functions below the magnet, the neuromodulatory effects on the spinal cord remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the neuromodulatory effects of tSMS on the lumbar spinal cord. We applied tSMS over the lumbar spinal cord for 20 min in 15 healthy subjects. The H reflex, served as an index of excitability in the lumbar
