Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is based on the characteristics of motor learning theory and motor learning neural network to improve motor function in stroke patients. This study is to investigate whether the cerebral-cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is effective in improving motor function compared to the conventional cerebral rTMS in stroke patients.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Facilitatory cerebral and cerebellar rTMS group

Patients underwent 10 consecutive daily sessions of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the affected primary motor cortex of the hand and high-frequency rTMS over the ipsilateral cerebellar hemisphere.

Procedure: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
rTMS over cerebral motor cortex and cerebellar hemisphere

Active Comparator: Facilitatory cerebral rTMS group

Patients underwent 10 consecutive daily sessions of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the affected primary motor cortex of the hand and sham high-frequency rTMS over the ipsilateral cerebellar hemisphere.

Procedure: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
rTMS over cerebral motor cortex and cerebellar hemisphere

Experimental: Inhibitory cerebral and cerebellar rTMS group

Patients underwent 10 consecutive daily sessions of continous theta bust stimulation (cTBS) over the unaffected primary motor cortex of the hand and high-frequency rTMS over the ipsilateral cerebellar hemisphere.

Procedure: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
rTMS over cerebral motor cortex and cerebellar hemisphere

Active Comparator: Inhibitory cerebral rTMS group

Patients underwent 10 consecutive daily sessions of continous theta bust stimulation (cTBS) over the unaffected primary motor cortex of the hand and sham rTMS over the ipsilateral cerebellar hemisphere.

rTMS over cerebral motor cortex and cerebellar hemisphere

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Difference of upper limb motor score in Fugl-Meyer assessment [2 weeks]

    (upper limb motor score in Fugl-Meyer assessment at post-intervention) - (upper limb motor score in Fugl-Meyer assessment at baseline) Higher scores mean a better outcome
