cTBS and LF-rTMS significantly improved motor function in stroke patients, particularly upper limb motricity compared to sham stimulation.
Both treatment groups showed a marked enhancement in Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores, with significance at 4 and 12 weeks post-treatment.
Assessment utilized functional near-infrared spectroscopy to evaluate cortical activation alongside clinical outcomes such as MBI scores.
Results highlight the potential for non-invasive therapies in rehabilitating poststroke upper extremity motor impairment.
