Research Abstract |
Our study demonstrated that application of low-frequency rTMS to an area homologous to the most activated area on pretreatment fMRI with a language task resulted in improvement of language function in aphasic stroke patients without any adverse effects. Therefore, our fMRI-based therapeutic rTMS strategy for chronic stroke patients with aphasia seems feasible and potentially useful neurorehabilitative approach with low-risk symptomatic deterioration.
