Effect of Cerebral and Cerebellar rTMS in Stroke Patient
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.

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. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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
