ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the therapeutic effects of infra-low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with spastic cerebral palsy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-five children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into two groups control (n=33) and treatment groups (n=42). The treatment group accepted infra-low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation besides conventional comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. The control group only accepted conventional comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. Motor functions were assessed by gross motor function measure (GMFM) and fine motor function measure (FMFM) at one and three months after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Improvement in the ability to sit in the treatment was better than in the control group at one month after treatment (P<0.05). Improvement in the ability to sit, crawl and kneel, total score of GMFM, and improvement of joint active ability of limbs, grasping ability and operating ability in the treatment group were better than the control group at three months after treatment (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Infra-low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively improve motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.</p>
