Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) or sham was given over the motor cortex daily for 10 days to two randomly assigned groups of 26 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients otherwise continued their normal treatment. Disability scales measured before rTMS, at end last rTMS session, and later showed that real improved patients9 scores more than sham.

We compared the effect of different frequencies repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) (1 Hz, 10 25 Hz and sham (occipital, 1 Hz)), given daily over left temporoparietal cortex for 2 weeks, on 66 patients with chronic tinnitus randomly divided into four treatment groups. Patients were assessed using Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, self-ratings symptoms audiometric measures residual inhibition before, immediately after weeks' monthly thereafter 4 consecutive months.There no...

Objectives: To assess the long-term analgesic effect of repetitive transcranial stimulation (rTMS) on chronic phantom pain using high frequency and to measure serum beta-endorphin level pre- post-rTMS. Material methods: The study included 27 patients with unilateral amputation; all had pain. were classified into two groups. Seventeen received 10 minutes real rTMS over hand area motor cortex (20 Hz, second trains, intensity 80% threshold) every day for five consecutive days sham stimulation....
