New Hope for Stroke Recovery: rTMS Shown to Boost Brain Plasticity
  • Recent studies show that repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) may enhance post-stroke neuroplasticity.

  • rTMS is linked to higher levels of neuroplasticity biomarkers, indicating a positive effect on the brain's natural recovery processes after a stroke.

  • High-frequency rTMS specifically is believed to aid stroke recovery by promoting the creation of new neurons and the growth of new axons.

  • These findings suggest that TMS could serve as a beneficial non-invasive treatment option for those recovering from strokes.
