Summary

The aim of research to study therapeutic possibilities of navigation transcranial magnetic stimulation in stroke rehabilitation, finding optimal protocol.

Detailed description

Stroke is the main cause of long-term disability among adults. Disability following stroke results in significant impairment of patients quality of life. There was a lot of investigations with using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as effective additional therapy in stroke rehabilitation. In this researches uses different protocols and patient's categories: high-frequency, low-frequency, etc. Using method of navigation transcranial magnetic stimulation with neuroimaging could help in choosing optimal protocol, assess effectiveness of therapy and forming prognosis.
