Study Summary
Few treatments are available for post-stroke rehabilitation. The current study aims to develop a novel, short-term, high-dose repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) based intervention to improve post-stroke cognitive problems. This study will test the safety as well as changes in cognitive function and brain activation with the administration of an accelerated rTMS protocol in chronic stroke.
Primary Outcome
This study will be demonstrating the safety of using rTMS in stroke patients by assessing adverse events and side effects using the intermittent transcranial brain stimulation (iTBS) Review of Systems questionnaire. The minimum value of the iTBS scale is 0 and the maximum is 75, the higher the score the more severe the side effects meaning a worse outcome.
