Sequential Theta burst stimulation changes language function after stroke - Preliminary analysis in Chinese survivors

Introduction: Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a patterned repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocol with relatively short stimulation period and strong power. Controlled trial of sequential TBS in post-stroke aphasia has been scarce. We aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of consecutive suppressive-facilitatory TBS on language outcome after stroke.
