Research progress on rs-fMRI in the post-stroke cognitive dysfunction after the treatment of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Abstract

Abstract:

Post-stroke cognitive impairment is a clinical syndrome characterized by cognitive impairment that occurs after a stroke event and persists for up to 6 months. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive and safe neuroregulatory therapy, has been widely used in clinical practice. At present, it has a good effect in the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment, but its mechanism remains to be further clarified. With the development of imaging technology, more and more studies have been conducted to explore the therapeutic mechanism of rTMS using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Due to different treatment regimens and small study sample sizes, the results of each study are not consistent. This article reviews the research progress of rs-fMRI in post-stroke cognitive function with the treatment of rTMS.

Key words: Post-stroke cognitive impairment, Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging
