ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)on motor function after acute cerebral infarction.Methods60 patients who suffered acute cerebral infarction were assigned to experiment group and control group(30 cases each group). Both groups received rehabilitation theropy. Meanwhile,experiment group received TMS. Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA), National Institute of Health Scale of Stroke(NIHSS), Barthel Index(BI) were used to measure the outcome.ResultsThe scores of FMA and BI increased significantly(P<0.05) while that of NIHSS decreased significantly(P<0.05) in both groups after treatment. However, these scores in experiment group improved more compared with those of control group(P<0.05).ConclusionTMS is helpful to improve the motor function, ability of daily living and neurological function.
