The combined effects of rTMS and upper extremity robotic therapy for restoring upper extremity function in patients with spinal cord injury: A randomized controlled trial

This study suggests that combining rTMS with upper extremity robotic therapy may have potential benefits for upper extremity function in patients with SCI. However, the addition of rTMS did not demonstrate clear superiority over robotic therapy alone. Further research with larger cohorts and optimized protocols is warranted to clarify its therapeutic value.<b>Trial registration:</b> Clinical Research Information Service, Republic of Korea identifier: KCT0004443.
