Summary

In recent studies, it has been reported that intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) provides additional benefits when applied in adjunct to the rehabilitation in all stages of stroke (acute, subacute, or chronic). In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of iTBS applied in addition to modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT). By doing so, we intend to increase patient adherence to neurorehabilitation and decrease the cost of rehabilitation.
