pBFS-guided cTBS Combined With iTBS Over the Superior Frontal Gyrus for Aphasia After Ischemic Stroke

"Daily TBS treatment consists of the following combination: active 600-pulse cTBS applied to the superior frontal gyrus (SFG) in the unaffected hemisphere + active 600-pulse iTBS applied to the SFG in the affected hemisphere + 15 minutes of rest + active 600-pulse cTBS applied to the SFG in the unaffected hemisphere + active 600-pulses iTBS applied to the SFG in the affected hemisphere, totaling 2400 pulses of TBS intervention.~The intervention mentioned above will be administered once per day with five consecutive days per week, continuously for three weeks."

"Daily sham TBS treatment consists of the following combination: sham 600-pulse cTBS applied to the superior frontal gyrus (SFG) in the unaffected hemisphere + sham 600-pulse iTBS applied to the SFG in the affected hemisphere + 15 minutes of rest + sham 600-pulse cTBS applied to the SFG in the unaffected hemisphere + 600-pulse sham iTBS applied to the SFG in the affected hemisphere, totaling 2400 pulses of sham TBS intervention.~The intervention mentioned above will be administered once per day with five consecutive days per week, continuously for three weeks."
