Efficacy of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on upper limb motor function after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Approximately 50-70% of stroke survivors are left with varying degrees of limb paralysis, severely affecting their ability to perform daily activities and engage in rehabilitation. Although conventional rehabilitation interventions, such as task-oriented training and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), have been widely utilized, their efficacy has been constrained by individual differences and limitations in neuroplastic activation. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS), a novel non-invasive neuromodulation technique, directly targets peripheral nerves and muscles to potentially facilitate the remodeling of motor pathways. There is a lack of evaluation regarding the effectiveness of rPMS for improving upper limb motor function and spasticity in stroke pa
