| This article primarily focuses on the application of rTMS in the rehabilitation of motor, language, and cognitive functions in post-stroke patients. It analyzes its efficacy and influencing factors in the recovery of post-stroke sequelae, discusses the optimization of rTMS parameters and rehabilitation program design, and summarizes the clinical practice challenges and future prospects of rTMS in stroke rehabilitation.The fundamental principle of rTMS involves modulating the neural activity in specific brain regions by varying magnetic fields, thereby achieving excitatory or inhibitory regulation of brain areas. This therapeutic approach introduces a new avenue for stroke rehabilitation. However, due to significant individual variations among stroke patients, personalized rTMS treatment plans are necessary.In rTMS therapy, the optimization of parameters and rehabilitation programs is crucial for treatment effectiveness. These parameters include stimulation frequency, stimulation intensity, stimulation duration, and stimulation site. Adjusting these parameters allows for the achievement of different therapeutic outcomes.While rTMS has shown promise in stroke rehabilitation, it still faces certain challenges in clinical practice. Thus, further research with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up is required to validate the efficacy and long-term effects of rTMS. As a novel rehabilitation tool, rTMS holds significant potential in stroke recovery. With ongoing research, it is believed that more effective rTMS treatment strategies can be provided for clinical application, enhancing the quality of life and functional recovery for stroke patients.In the future, delving deeper into the application of rTMS in various types of stroke rehabilitation will aid in optimizing treatment plans and better meeting the individualized treatment needs of patients, ultimately improving the effectiveness and outcomes of rehabilitation. |
