Interventions

Conventional TMS Group:Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) applied to the affected hemisphere's M1 area: It involves repetitive short trains of 50 Hz stimulation, with each train lasting for 2
DS-TMS:Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is applied to the Supplementary Motor Area (SMA), consisting of repetitive short trains of 50 Hz stimulation, with each train lasting 2 seconds and a
TMS+BCI:Subjects first received BCI combined with upper limb robotic hand training therapy (30 minutes per session, 5 sessions per week), followed by DS-TMS treatment within 30 to 60 minutes thereafte
BCI+TMS:Subjects first received DS-TMS treatment, followed by BCI combined with upper limb robotic hand training therapy within 30 to 60 minutes thereafter.
