Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation elevates the serum levels of neurotrophic factors and serotonin and its metabolites in patients with ischemic stroke by Wei Li, Wei Li, Wenyan Li, Yinghua Wen, Junying Wu

“…ObjectiveRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can effectively treat cognitive impairment in stroke patients; however, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether rTMS improves cognitive function by regulating the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA).MethodsIn a 4-week study, 70 patients with ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to two groups: one received rTMS (n = 35) and the other received sham-stimulation (n = 35) in addition to conventional medication and rehabilitation training. …”
