Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction

Sponsor: Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to conventional neurological rehabilitation on heart rate variability (HRV), quality of life, upper extremity muscle strength and autonomic symptoms in patients with stroke.

Interventions

DEVICE

rTMS M1 Motor Cortex Protocol

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) will be applied using the MagVenture MagPro R30 device with a Figure Eight Coil according to the study protocol. rTMS will be delivered to the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1) upper extremity motor area at a low frequency of 1 Hz, 5 sessions per week for 4 weeks, totaling 20 sessions.

DEVICE

Sham rTMS Protocol

Sham (placebo) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) will be applied to mimic the procedure without delivering active stimulation. It was planned to apply it daily for 20 sessions.
