AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults who had one stroke within the last 3 months and have weak arm muscles. It tests magnetic brain stimulation chosen for each person.
- Age
- Age over 20 years.
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Stroke on one side of the brain, ischemic or hemorrhagic, within 3 months. Upper limb muscle strength of 3 or lower on the Medical Research Council Scale.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Earlier stroke, seizure, dementia, Parkinson's disease or other degenerative nerve disease
- Brain injury or brain tumor, or other disease of the central nervous system
- Any reason rTMS is unsafe, such as seizure, alcoholism, metal implant or pacemaker
- Unable to cooperate with the treatment, or cannot sit for over 15 minutes
- Pregnancy or depression

Efficacy of Individualized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Based on Cortical Laterality for Motor Recovery in Stroke Patients
This study aimed to aim to investigate the efficacy of individualized rTMS according to lateralization index on motor recovery and cortical excitability in subacute stroke patients.
Inclusion: Unilateral ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke; Stroke within 3 months; Medical Research Council Scale for Muscle Strength in upper limb ≤ 3; No previous stroke, seizure, dementia, Parkinson's disease or other degenerative neurological diseases; Patient could sit over 15 minutes; Age over 20.
Exclusion: Previous stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor; With central nervous system disease (spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease); Any contraindication to rTMS (seizure, alcoholism, metal implant, pacemaker); Patients unable to cooperate the treatment; Pregnancy; Depression.
