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. 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. Both groups (PA alone and PA+ cTBS) showed improvement in their neglected symptoms, and in their disability in the neurological function.  The results of the present study showed that, transcranial magnetic stimulation did not increase the effect of PA on neglect symptoms in stroke patients.
