Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To observe the effect of bilateral sequential repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the motor function of upper limbs in stroke patients.
Methods From December, 2020 to December, 2022, 62 stroke inpatients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were included. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 31) and observation group (n = 31). Both groups accepted conventional medicine and rehabilitation, as well as electroacupuncture antagonistic muscle therapy. Before electroacupuncture, the observation group acceped low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at primary motor cortex (M1) on the healthy side, followed by intermittent theta burst stimulation at M1 on the affected side, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), modified Barthel Index (MBI) and modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and motor evoked potential (MEP) latency was compared before and after treatment.
Results One patient dropped down in the observation group, and no adverse event happened. After treatment, the scores of FMA-UE and MBI significantly increased (|t| > 9.953, P < 0.001), and the score of MAS and the latency of MEP significantly decreased (|t| > 5.043, P < 0.001) in both groups; while all of them were better in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 2.237, P < 0.05).
Conclusion Bilateral sequential repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively promote the recovery of upper limb motor function in stroke patients.

Key words: stroke, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroacupuncture, upper limbs, motor function
