Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate cortical
excitability, and may be beneficial for motor recovery after stroke. However, the …

Background We conducted a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study to assess the
efficacy in motor recovery and safety of daily repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation, a type of noninvasive brain stimulation, has become an
ancillary therapy for motor function rehabilitation. Most previous studies have focused on the …

Background and purpose Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) changes the
excitability of the motor cortex and thereby has the potential to enhance motor recovery after …

Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the adult population of western industrialized
countries. Despite significant improvements of acute stroke care, two thirds of stroke …

Rationale An improved understanding of motor dysfunction and recovery after stroke has
important clinical implications that may lead to the design of more effective rehabilitation …

The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in stroke research has increased
dramatically over the last decade with two emerging and potentially useful functions …

Objective The purpose of this article was to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on hand function recovery and the plasticity of the cortex in …

Objective: The primary aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of repetitive
transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on limb movement recovery post-stroke and cortex …

Objective: To assess the efficacy of inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
(rTMS) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on upper extremity motor function …
