Primary outcomePrimary: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) — 3.8; 2.7 score on a scale
Summary
The study aimed to figure out brain structural and functional reorganization evidence after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation through the method of neuroimaging brain network analysis, such as resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging.
