The Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction in Patients With Stroke
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to conventional neurological rehabilitation on heart rate variability (HRV), quality of life, upper extremity muscle strength and autonomic symptoms in patients with stroke.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is frequently associated with autonomic dysfunction (AD). AD can affect heart function, arterial blood pressure, fluid balance, and other body systems, negatively influencing clinical outcomes and prognosis. Brain damage in cortical and subcortical regions during stroke can disrupt the integrity of the central autonomic network, leading to AD. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive method thought to support neuroplasticity and potentially improve autonomic function. This study aims to investigate the effects of rTMS on autonomic dysfunction and related functional parameters in patients with stroke.
