Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) can improve neurological rehabilitation in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can rTMS Promote Recovery of Limb Impairment in Patients with Acute Ischemia? Can rTMS Cause Changes in the Functional Connections of Brain Networks in Patients? Researchers will compare rTMS therapy to non-stimulation therapy to see if rTMS is effective in promoting neurological recovery from ischemic stroke. Participants will: Receive rTMS or sham stimulation with LF-rTMS on the contralateral M1 of the brain lesion for 20 minutes, 1200 pulses, 120% RMT, and a treatment period of 5 days; Be evaluated on a scale before and after treatment
