The Effect of Continuous Theta-Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Prism Adaptation on the Neglect Recovery in Stroke Patients

This study was designed to investigate the effect of prism adaptation (PA) combined with continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) on the neglect recovery of stroke patients with unilateral neglect. Methods: A total of 14 stroke patients with unilateral neglect were randomly assigned to 2 groups including an intervention group undergone PA combined with cTBS over the left intact parietal cortex and a control group. PA combined with sham cTBS was perfomed for 2 weeks in 10 daily sessions.
