First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tested whether combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with motor training improves arm function in stroke patients. 60 adults with upper limb weakness after a stroke received either online rTMS (during training), offline rTMS (before training), or a sham (fake) treatment for 10 sessions over two weeks. Researchers measured arm movement, coordination, and brain activity before and after treatment to see if the online approach boosts recovery more than the other methods.
