NCT05803057

Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical controlled trial is to learn about whether neuro-navigation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) was useful to accelerate the recovery in patients with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. The main questions aim to answer:

  • Question 1: Whether the nrTMS was useful to accelerate the recovery of motor function back to the preoperative status in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection.
  • Question 2: Whether the nrTMS was useful to improve postoperative motor function in participants with SMA syndrome after glioma resection. Participants will continue to receive nrTMS treatment or nrTMS sham-treatment for 7 times on the 8th day after glioma resection to determine whether the TMS was helpful for exercise rehabilitation. The investigator will evaluate the effects of nrTMS treatment through the ratio of recovery of motor function and the time that was from the participants suffering SMA syndrome to totally recover the motor function to the status of motor function in pre-operation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Motor function totally recovering in evaluating with MRC (the UK Medical Research Council) muscle strength test

    The motor function recovers back to the status in pre-operation. The motor status means that the muscle strength muscle of upper limb that is controlled by lesional hemisphere. Moreover, the recovering back means that the muscle strength achieves at grade 5 (healthy grade).

    From the day of tumor resection to 3 months after tumor resection

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Motor function improve in evaluating with MRC (the UK Medical Research Council) muscle strength test

    From the day of tumor resection to 3 months after tumor resection

Study Arms (2)

TMS treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Masking Details
There are two stimulating colis with the same shape, color and touch. The one is able to stimulate, the other is able to sham-stimulate. All patients are randomly assigned to use one of the two coils for treatment. Except for the designer, all participant, care provider, investigator, and outcomes assessorthey don not know who used which coil to treatment.

Model Details: There are two groups of this study. The one is that the patients receive nrTMS stimulation with high-frequency on the thumb-related motor cortex on the lesional hemisphere. The other is that the patients receive nrTMS sham-stimulation with high-frequency on the thumb-related motor cortex on the lesional hemisphere.
