Stroke Rehabilitation
High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the ipsilesional primary motor area (M1) after acute unilateral stroke
This randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of high frequency (5Hz) rTMS applied over the ipsilesional M1 for supporting functional recovery after stroke (unilateral infarction in the middle cerebral artery territory).
Stroke Rehabilitation
Low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the contralesional primary motor area (M1) in stroke rehabilitation
The authors investigated whether low frequency (1Hz) rTMS to the contralesional M1 might improve functionality after stroke.
