Abstract:BackgroundUpper limb motor recovery is one of the important goals of stroke rehabilitation. Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a new type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), is considered a potential therapy. However, there is still no consensus on the efficacy of iTBS for upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke. Stimulus dose may be an important factor affecting the efficacy of iTBS. Therefore, we aim to investigate and compare the effects and neural mechanisms of three doses o… Show more
