The stroke patients in the experimental group underwent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy and comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. The stroke patients in the control group underwent sham magnetic stimulation therapy and comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. The patients in both groups received therapy 5 days per week for 4 weeks.

A significant difference in the post-training gains for the MVPT (8.9 ± 2.5 vs. 4.8 ± 3.0), LBT (−19.3 ± 7.5 vs. −6.5 ± 9.5), AT (13.1 ± 8.0 vs. 4.0 ± 1.9), and SCT (−13.6 ± 6.9 vs. −4.5 ± 6.9) were observed between the experimental group and the control group (<em>p</em> < 0.05). In addition, the effect size for gains in the experimental and control groups was very large in MVPT and AT (effect size = 3.25 and 2.90), respectively, and the effect size for gains in the experimental and control groups was small in LBT and SCT (effect size = 0.22 and 0.23, respectively).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>The current study findings indicated that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may be beneficial in decreasing the unilateral neglect of stroke patients.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44774,"journal":{"name":"Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal","volume":"33 2","pages":"Pages 53-58"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.hkpj.2015.04.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37268825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
