ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It had been assumed that suppressing the undamaged contralesional motor cortex by repetitive low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) or increasing the excitability of the damaged hemisphere cortex by high-frequency rTMS will promote function recovery after stroke.OBJECTIVE:
To assess the efficacy and safety of rTMS for improving function in people with stroke.METHODS:
AUTHORS'CONCLUSIONS:
Current evidence does not support the routine use of rTMS for the treatment of stroke. Further trials with larger sample sizes are needed to determine a suitable rTMS protocol and the long-term functional outcome. .
