- The study investigates how the BDNF neurotrophin's genetic variations and rehabilitation methods like rTMS influence recovery in ischemic stroke patients.
- Researchers assessed BDNF levels in patients before, after 6 hours, and after 3 weeks of rehabilitation, focusing on those with hand paresis and aphasia.
- Results indicated that rTMS-treated patients had lower BDNF levels compared to placebo after initial sessions, with no significant impact of genetic variations on BDNF concentrations or patient recovery outcomes.
