Summary

This study aimed to aim to investigate the efficacy of individualized rTMS according to lateralization index on motor recovery and cortical excitability in subacute stroke patients.

Detailed description

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology. High and low frequencies of rTMS could modulate the excitability of the cerebral cortex. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) has achieved a similar effect to traditional rTMS mode. However, the current rTMS studies for stroke patients utilized the same therapeutic protocol and there is no individualized rTMS protocol based on the value of lateralization index. This study aimed to aim to investigate the efficacy of individualized rTMS according to lateralization index on motor recovery and cortical excitability in subacute stroke patients.
