Progress of the Target Selection and Localization of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Improve Upper Limb Function after Stroke by LIU Canhuan, SHEN Ying, DAI Wenjun, GUO Chuan, CHENG Yihui, ZHU Yi, WANG Tong

“…Currently, rehabilitation techniques for improving post-stroke upper limb motor function, both domestically and internationally, primarily involve motor function training.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), because it can enhance upper limb motor function recovery by modulating cortical excitability and promoting neuroplasticity, has been increasingly used in stroke rehabilitation and has been included in the guideline as a grade A recommendation.However, there is still large heterogeneity in the relevant clinical studies, and the therapeutic effect is affected by factors such as different target selection and target localization accuracy. …”
