Effects and mechanisms of theta burst stimulation targeting individualized pre-supplementary motor area for post-stroke aphasia: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Key Points
Theta burst stimulation may enhance recovery in post-stroke aphasia through targeted intervention.
The primary outcome is language improvement assessed at 12 weeks post-intervention, involving 80 participants.
Randomized controlled trial protocol focuses on individualized stimulation targeting the pre-supplementary motor area.
Potential impact includes advancing treatment for aphasia, though results are pending from the initial trials.
