Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hemispheric stroke scale (HSS)

    Language assessment using hemispheric stroke scale (HSS)

    Change from Baseline in HSS at 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    Change from Baseline in NIHSS at 2 months

Other Outcomes (1)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

19 subacute stroke pts with aphasia received 10 rTMS (5sessions/week) for 2 successive weeks

Procedure: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Sham rTMS

SHAM COMPARATOR

10 patients received sham rTMS stimulation (5 sessions/week) for 2 successive weeks

Procedure: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
