简要总结
A prospective, multi-center, randomized, sham-controlled, blinded study combining active Nexstim NBS-guided 1Hz rTMS or sham-rTMS targeting the healthy hemisphere with standardized task oriented rehabilitation will be conducted in patients with post-stroke motor impairment of the upper limb. The therapy will be provided for 6 weeks and primary outcome assessed 6 months later.

结局指标
主要结局
Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Score
时间窗: Change from baseline to 6 months after end of treatment.
Range 0 to 65. HIgher scores indicate better function. Minimal clinically important difference = change of 5 points or more on scale. Outcome measure = proportion of patients in treatment arm gaining at least 5 points on scale between baseline and 6 months after end of treatment.
次要结局
- Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Score(Change in score from baseline to 6 months after end of treatment)
- Arm-Research Action Test (ARAT)(Change in score from baseline to 6 months after end of treatment.)
- NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)(Change in score from baseline to 6 months after end of treatment)
- Quality of Life Assessment: EQ-5D(Change in score from baseline to 6 months after end of treatment)
