NMES with rTMS for moderate to severe dysfunction after stroke.

Background: Motor dysfunction after stroke might be improved by neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with moderate and severe motor dysfunction.

Objective: This preliminary study tested the effect of this treatment combination.

Methods: Fifteen patients (60.

The effects of high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with transcutaneous electrical stimulation in a severe stroke patient.

The case report describes the effects of 5 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) in a patient with severe stroke. The patient was a 69-year-old male who was affected by a left middle cerebral artery infarction. The patient had no movement in his right hand.
