Effect of Cerebral and Cerebellar rTMS in Stroke Patient

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Hemiplegic stroke patients within 1 month after onset
  • Moderate to severe motor impairment (Fugl-Meyer assessment <85)
  • Cognitive and language functions to perform more than one step of command
  • More than 19 years old

Exclusion criteria

  • Contraindicated to rTMS
  • Progressive or unstable stroke
  • Pre-existing and active major neurological disease or major psychiatric disease
  • A history of advanced liver, kidney, cardiac or pulmonary disease, a terminal medical diagnosis consistent with survival <1 year

Treatment and study plan

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Procedure

rTMS over cerebral motor cortex and cerebellar hemisphere

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference of upper limb motor score in Fugl-Meyer assessment

    Time frame: 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
