Abstract

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can enhance brain plasticity after stroke. At low frequencies, rTMS has an inhibitory effect, whereas at high frequencies, it has an excitatory effect. Combining both frequencies in bilateral stimulation is a new rTMS protocol under investigation, especially in the subacute stage.
