Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation promotes the recovery of upper limb motor dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients: a DTI-based glymphatic system imaging prospective study
Both HF-rTMS and LF-rTMS are beneficial for the rehabilitation of upper limb motor function in patients with IS, but the different changes in DTI-ALPS index may indicate differential effects of HF-rTMS and LF-rTMS on the glymphatic system. However, more research is needed to confirm the underlying mechanisms of this interaction.
