Efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for disorders of consciousness: a retrospective cohort study
rTMS did not significantly improve the GCS scores of patients with DoC. However, it may improve the level of consciousness of patients with stroke-induced or moderate DoC. Nevertheless, this conclusion requires validation through rigorous, standardized, large-sample randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
