Deep and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation improves motor dysfunction after basal ganglia infarction: preliminary findings on efficacy and electrophysiological mechanisms

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effects of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on upper and lower limb motor dysfunction in patients with basal ganglia infarction, and to preliminarily explore their underlying electrophysiological mechanisms.MethodsThirty patients with motor dysfunction secondary to basal ganglia infarction, hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College between October 2024 and Decem
