Postoperative Nodal Efficiency of the Lesional-Hemispheric Hand Motor Area Increasing Potentially Facilitated Motor Recovery for SMA Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome commonly occurs after glioma resection and requires weeks to months of recovery.

Methods

Thirty-four glioma patients with SMA syndrome were reviewed and assigned to recovered and non-recovered groups based on whether their motor function recovered on postoperative day 7. To validate the association between variations in nodal properties and recovery time, neuro-navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) was applied to stimulate potential nodes. Nine other patients (five nrTMS therapy and four sham-nrTMS treatments) with SMA syndrome with unrecovered motor functions on postoperation day 7 were prospectively enrolled.

Results

The potential nodes of the sensorimotor network related to recovery time we
