Advance in Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Theta Burst Stimulation for Motor Function after Stroke (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

As a safe and noninvasive therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and theta burst stimulation (TBS) are used to change the cortical excitability, and induce or enhance neural plasticity, which can promote the recovery of motor function after stroke. This paper summarized the individual treatment of rTMS on motor function of stroke patients, the advantages of TBS compared with rTMS, and the mechanisms and clinical application of TBS.
