Brain Stimulation Reduces Post-Stroke Neglect
Post-stroke hemispatial neglect improved significantly after a two-week course of magnetic stimulation of the affected brain area, according to results of a small clinical trial- Moncler Outlet .
Continuing the line of investigation, Koch and colleagues conducted a randomized, sham-controlled study of 20 patients who developed hemispatial neglect following right-hemisphere strokes. The investigators sought to determine whether repeated application of continuous theta-burst stimulation over two weeks would lead to further amelioration of hemispatial neglect- Moncler sale .
Patients randomized to active therapy had two treatment sessions daily, 15 minutes apart, Monday through Friday, for two weeks. Each session consisted of three-pulse bursts at 50 Hz, repeated at 200 msec intervals for a total of 40 seconds. Treatment occurred at the same time each day.
“There is emerging evidence that intervention beginning in the first week after stroke may improve therapeutic efficacy by taking advantage of an enhanced window of plasticity
