Clinical Trial Summary

It is postulated that high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can decrease the corticospinal inhibition and enhance the motor recovery. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of high frequency rTMS on lower extremity motor recovery and gait parameters in patients with chronic motor incomplete traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).


Clinical Trial Description

A sham-controlled double-blind randomized study was undertaken. 28 patients with chronic (>1 year) motor incomplete traumatic SCI were randomized into real rTMS group (n=14) or sham rTMS group (n=14). Real rTMS (20 Hz, a total of 1600 stimuli) or sham r TMS were applied in the motor cortex area of lower extremities during 3 weeks (15 sessions). In addition to rTMS sessions, patients underwent a rehabilitation program including exercises for strengthening, walking and balance. Lower extremity motor score (LEMS), the temporal-spatial gait parameters measured by 3D gait analysis, Walking Index for SCI-II (WISCI-II) scale and 10 meters walking test were assessed at baseline, 3 weeks (after the treatment sessions) and 5 weeks (follow-up). ;
