  Repetitive Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is emerging as a new investigation as well as treatment tool for various neurological and psychiatric diseases. Recent studies showed its application as treatment tool in movement disorders, where rTMS stimulation on primary motor cortex alters physiological patterns of motor threshold; motor evoked potential and cortical plasticity which induces motor activity. Recent studies on rTMS combined with rehabilitation therapy demonstrated functional improvement in motor activities of spastic cerebral palsy (sCP) children. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of rTMS on hand function of sCP patients. Forty-five children diagnosed as sCP participated in this study after written consent from their parents or guardians. They were divided into three groups- control (CG) and interventional group (IG-A and IG-B). Partic.. Read More»
