Conditions

Ischemic stroke

Interventions

Neuroregulation group:Multimodal neuroregulation (transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation) targeting specific neural regions. Specific parameters: using NeuroFUSDPX-500 device, 4-element transduce
Control group:Sham stimulation or routine treatment. Specific procedure: receiving sham stimulation during the regulation phase, all procedures (navigation localization, gel application, etc.) identic
