Theta Burst Stimulation for Motor Recovery
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology. This study will compare efficacy of different doses iTBS in combination with inhibitory rTMS on motor recovery and cortical excitability in subacute stroke patients.

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
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. Intermittent TBS (iTBS) could upregulate cortical excitability of the primary motor cortex (M1) and continuous TBS (cTBS) with inhibitory effect.
