Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to randomize stroke patients with unilateral neglect into 2 groups, active and sham groups, and to examine the effects of active inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the reduction of neglect symptoms, functional recovery and independence of these patients in activities of daily living.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke at least 1 month ago, with unilateral neglect, receiving inpatient rehabilitation at stroke clinics, and meeting the study criteria for both genders between the ages of 18-80, will be divided into two groups. A total of 22 stroke patients, informed about the applied treatments and potential risks, and providing written consent, will be randomly assigned to receive either active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with conventional rehabilitation (Mirror therapy and Visual scanning training) or sham (imitation) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with conventional rehabilitation. The study will include 22 randomly selected patients with neglect, with 11 planned in the intervention group and 11 in the control group. Patients will receive active rTMS or sham rTMS for a total of 10 sessions, each lasting 20 minutes, alongside conventional rehabilitation over a period of 2 weeks. rTMS applications will be conducted once daily before the daily rehabilitation program. ;
