Effects of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on balance and gait in stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the effects of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on balance function and gait of stroke patients.

Methods

This randomized, single-blind trial enrolled 66 eligible stroke patients with hemiplegia. These participants were randomly assigned to either the deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) group (n = 33) or the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) group (n = 33). All patients received conventional rehabilitation therapy. Moreover, the dTMS group received dTMS treatment, while the rTMS group received rTMS treatment. The stimulation was administered to the M1 region for a period of 4 weeks. Outcome evaluations were conducted both before and after the intervention. Th
