Efficacy comparison of seven non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke: a Bayesian network meta-analysis and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke frequently causes upper limb dysfunction, impairing daily activities and quality of life. This study evaluates seven repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation protocols for improving upper limb motor function, muscle tone, and daily living in stroke patients, providing evidence for optimizing non-invasive brain stimulation therapy.

Methods

Computerized searches were conducted in the VIP database (VIP), Wan-fang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), PubMed, SinoMed Database (CBM), Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to identify publicly published randomized controlled trials on different non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke.
