Summary
Recently, non-invasive brain stimulation modalities such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation have become treatment options. Among these methods, rTMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that can affect descending corticospinal pathways, thereby modulating cortical excitability in the motor area where it is applied. This study will examine the effect of rTMS application on spasticity and balance in patients with multiple sclerosis. In addition, the indirect effects of the applications on gait pattern, joint range of motion, and pain will be evaluated.
