Phase 2 Study of rTMS Application in Aphasic Patients Evaluated With fMRI
Phase 2 Study of rTMS Application in Aphasic Patients Evaluated With fMRI
The substantial efficacy and the possible mechanism of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) improving language recovery remained unclear. It is hypothesized that the rTMS was associated with increased synaptic connection and neural regeneration which can be evaluated via functional neuroimage and neurofiber imaging analysis. The effect of rTMS intervention was monitored by clinical testing and neuroimaging study.
2-week rTMS modulation has been proved to produce substantial clinical benefit with sham-controlled study. This trial aimed to investigate the possible mechanism and make clinical correlation.
