Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

This type of research would not be necessary if our fucking failures of stroke associations kept an up-to-date database of all effective stroke interventions.

Is there even a TMS machine in your hospital?

Useless! All this research on TMS and no one has enough brains to write a protocol of its' use! WHEN WILL WE GET COMPETENT PERSONS IN THE STROKE REHAB FIELD? Probably only after most of these people become the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke! And then it will be too late!

Abstract: 

A stroke occurs when blood vessels that carry blood to the brain become

blocked or ruptured, causing paralysis of the area of the brain that has lost blood

circulation. It is a disease that affects men more and is one of the leading causes of death,

disability, and hospitalizations worldwide. The faster a stroke is diagnosed and treated,

the greater the chances of a full recovery. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of the

signs and symptoms and seek immediate medical attention. The objective of the article

is to verify whether Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can contribute to

improving the health conditions of individuals after stroke. This study is an integrative

literature review. A literature review is a study based on collecting selected materials

and bibliographies, through a precise search in the databases made available by the

scientific community. To collect the material in the databases, keywords related to the

subject of the study are used, so that the use of Boolean operators (and, or and not) allows

for further refinement of the results and, consequently, the corpus of the research.
