Effect of Cerebral and Cerebellar rTMS in Stroke Patient

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Stroke
rTMS
Motor Recovery
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Registration Number
NCT04570774
Lead Sponsor
Samsung Medical Center
Brief Summary

This study is based on the characteristics of motor learning theory and motor learning neural network to improve motor function in stroke patients. This study is to investigate whether the cerebral-cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is effective in improving motor function compared to the conventional cerebral rTMS in stroke patients.
