Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral autoregulation in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Detailed Description
Current studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can change the excitability of nerve cells, improve intracerebral artery blood supply, and even reduce the degree of neurological impairment in patients with ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral autoregulation in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

- •Patients who are unable to complete cerebral autoregulation, or bilateral temporal window penetration poorly;
- •life expectancy of ≤3 months or inability to complete the study for other reasons;
- •unwillingness to be followed up or poor treatment compliance;

Time Frame: 0-5 days
A cerebral autoregulation parameter derived from transfer function analysis. Continuous cerebral blood flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral artery will be assessed noninvasively using transcranial Doppler. Spontaneous arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously recorded using a servo-controlled plethysmograph on the left or right middle finger with an appropriate finger cuff size. Transfer function analysis will be used to derive the cerebral autoregulatory parameter.
