AI Article Synopsis
- Proper stimulation of the affected side of the brain can help stroke patients recover functionally.
- The impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on brain activity varies based on factors like frequency, intensity, and duration.
- This study examines how rTMS affects issues like motor impairment and speech difficulties, aiming to identify optimal stimulation settings for better therapy outcomes.
Article Abstract
Proper stimulation to affected cerebral hemisphere would promote the functional recovery of patients with stroke. Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical excitability can be can be altered by the stimulation frequency, intensity and duration. There has been no consistent recognition regarding the best stimulation frequency and intensity. This study reviews the intervention effects of repetitive transcranial stimulation on motor impairment, dysphagia, visuospatial neglect and aphasia, and summarizes the stimulation frequency, intensity and area for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to yield the best therapeutic effects.
