The effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on upper extremity motor function in stroke patients: A meta-analytical review

Repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, which can alter excitability in the motor cortex and is a potential treatment for motor impairment in stroke patients. However, the effect of rTMS on upper extremity function in stroke patients remains controversial. This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the current findings on the effectiveness of rTMS for restoring upper extremity motor...
