Effects of motor imagery-based neurofeedback training after bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on post-stroke upper limb motor function: an exploratory crossover clinical trial
[LAY ABSTRACT] This study evaluated how a combination of 2 noninvasive neuromodulation treatments can help improve arm movement in individuals who have had a stroke. The treatments used were repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and mental practice through neurofeedback. Twenty patients parti...

| Sumario: | [LAY ABSTRACT] This study evaluated how a combination of 2 noninvasive neuromodulation treatments can help improve arm movement in individuals who have had a stroke. The treatments used were repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and mental practice through neurofeedback. Twenty patients participated and were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: either receiving 10 sessions of bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation alone, or followed by an additional 12 sessions of neurofeedback during which participants imagined moving the affected arm. The results showed that both groups improved arm function and sensory function. However, the combination of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and mental practice had better results than repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation alone. Participants experienced a significant improvement in their ability to move and feel with the arm. The effects persisted at least 1 month after completing the treatment. This study shows the potential benefit of using combined neuromodulation therapies in subacute and chronic stages of stroke sequelae. |
