Interventions

bilateral treatment group:iTBS (1200 pulse, 60%-80% resting motor threshold (rMT), 400 seconds every day) over ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1) and 1Hz (1200 pulse, 100%rMT, 24 minutes every day
unilateral treatment group: shamiTBS stimulation over ipsilesional M1 and 1Hz rTMS over contralesional M1
control group: shamiTBS stimulation over ipsilesional M1 and sham 1 Hz rTMS over contralesional M1
