Ischemic Stroke, Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment

Keywords

Brief summary

The objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the cerebellum for individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment. Participants will undergo rTMS in the cerebellar hemisphere opposite the lesion site, once daily for a total of five days.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of intermittent theta burst stimulation ( iTBS) in the cerebellum for individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment. The trial aims to answer two main questions: (1) What is the effectiveness of iTBS in improving post-stroke cognitive impairment? (2) Is iTBS in the cerebellum safe for individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment? Participants will undergo iTBS in the cerebellar opposite the lesion site, twice daily for five days. The control group will receive sham rTMS with the same parameters and positions.
