Comparison of different types of transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques which are intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with spinal cord injury
iTBS lasts shorter than rTMS so that this technique comfortable than rTMS for both patients and also physicians. Aim of this study is to compare effectiveness of this techniques. If results are same, iTBS can be used instead of rTMS.
