Multimodal treatment, including extracorporeal shock wave therapy, for refractory chronic tension-type headache: a case report.

Background: Few reports have described multidisciplinary treatment, including extracorporeal shock wave therapy, for patients with refractory chronic tension-type headache. In this study, we conducted multidisciplinary treatment for a patient with chronic tension-type headache who suffered from chronic headache refractory to treatment.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 45-year-old Japanese male suffering from 20 years of headache.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Rehabilitation Therapy for Upper Limb Hemiparesis in Stroke Patients: A Narrative Review.

Recent technological advances in non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) have led to the development of therapies for post-stroke upper extremity paralysis. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a NIBS technique, controls regional activity by non-invasively stimulating selected areas of the cerebral cortex. The therapeutic principle by which rTMS is thought to work is the correction of interhemispheric inhibition imbalances.
