Overview

This randomized controlled trial examines rTMS effects on neurophysiological mechanisms in stroke patients, suggesting targeted interventions for recovery.

Key Points

  • Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation improves neurophysiological measures of upper limb function in stroke patients.
  • Utilizing both high and low frequency rTMS, the trial measures effectiveness through multiple assessments like NIHSS and FMA-UE.
  • Randomized into HF and LF rTMS groups, 42 stroke patients will undergo neurophysiological evaluations post-treatment.
  • This trial's outcomes may enhance understanding of rTMS's role in promoting motor recovery post-stroke.
