Abstract: Background: Repetitive TMS (rTMS), a non-invasive neuro-stimulation tool based on the principle of electromagnetic induction is recently being employed both for investigational and interventional purposes. The stimulating effect of rTMS on motor cortex areas of the brain leads to increased motor activity and decreased muscle tone in spastic cerebral palsy (CP) patients. Objective: This modulatory effect of rTMS is used in this study to evaluate its effect on motor funct… Show more

“…Given the limited amount of data included, we only ran a meta-regression analysis, including the number of NiBS sessions as moderator. Its effect was significant ( p = 0.050), suggesting that increasing the number of sessions reduced craving scores, in line with results from previous studies and meta-analyses on various psychiatric and neurological conditions [ 128 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 ].…”

“…Besides, Rajak et al (2019) treated children with spastic CP by rTMS with 10 Hz and 2,500 pulse sequences. The results showed that, after treatment, the degree of upper limb muscle spasm was significantly reduced ( Rajak et al, 2019 ). However, the role of rTMS at different frequencies is also different.…”

“…At the same time, rTMS also has a positive effect on the treatment of children with CP. A large number of studies have proved that ( Valle et al, 2007 ; Feng et al, 2013 ; Rajak et al, 2019 ) rTMS can improve motor dysfunction in children with CP. Studies showed that ( Tan et al, 2014 ) rTMS can improve cerebral blood flow, improve the metabolic environment of brain cells, delay the cell death cycle, and promote the recovery of brain function.…”

“…The only partial effectiveness and lack of long-term effectivity shown in the study of Gillick et al may be associated with the relatively low number of rTMS sessions involved (five), which in addition were administered every second day (on the alternate days, the CIMT was performed). The therapeutic advantage of a larger number of sessions was documented in the later study by Rajak et al ., where improvement in the gross motor function measure was more prominent after 40 rather than 30 or 20 sessions [ 88 ]. The PLASTIC CHAMPS study (Plastic Adaptation Stimulated by TMS and Induced Constraint for Congenital Hemiparesis After Perinatal Stroke) is distinguished from the others as it involved a significantly bigger group ( n = 45) receiving more intensive therapy: ten daily rTMS sessions and the CIMT therapy covering 90% of waking time [ 89 ].…”
