Summary
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with physiotherapy improved motor and cognitive functions in a patient with lacunar infarcts. This neurorehabilitation approach showed sustained benefits and was well-tolerated.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Lacunar infarcts, despite their small size, can cause significant motor and cognitive impairments by disrupting cortico-subcortical networks.
- Effective neurorehabilitation strategies are crucial for improving functional outcomes in patients with lacunar infarcts.
