After low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the contralesional motor cortex (M1), the score of the Box and Block test increased immediately, especially in patients without cortical involvement.~Eighty-eight patients will be recruited and divided into two groups. Each group will receive 10 sessions of the real rTMS or sham rTMS over the contralesional primary motor cortex. Each rTMS session consists of low-frequency (1Hz) 1800 stimulations.~The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rTMS for upper-limb motor function in patients with subcortical and brainstem stroke.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation applied with an electromagnetic therapy stimulator 'ALTMS-A' for upper-limb motor function recovery with the sham control group for those who need upper-limb rehabilitation treatment for subcortical and brainstem stroke
