Experimental group:For rTMS treatment, the coil was placed over the contralesional cerebral hemisphere at the same stimulation site for the mylohyoid muscle. The coil was kept tangential to the skull
Sham stimulation group:Sham rTMS was delivered using the same stimulation sites and parameters as rTMS. The protocol was identical to that of the rTMS group. However, during treatment, the coil was po
