After just 3 weeks of treatment, high-dose TBS was associated with significantly improved poststroke upper extremity motor function compared with sham TBS.
High-dose theta burst stimulation is associated with significantly improved poststroke upper extremity motor function. Both intermittent TBS and continuous TBS groups showed greater improvements than those receiving sham stimulation.Participants were recruited from the Inpatient Department at the China Rehabilitation Research Center in Beijing, China. Participants were patients with first-time stroke at least 1-month post-onset, 18-70 years old, and with unilateral limb motor impairment.
Participants were randomly assigned to receive either iTBS to the ipsilesional upper extremity sensorimotor network , cTBS to the contralesional UESN, or sham TBS . The treatment lasted 3 weeks, with 5 consecutive weekdays each week, during which all patients received the allocated stimulation and conventional motor rehabilitation programs.
Participants, clinical assessors, behavioral therapists, data analysts, and other research staff were all blinded to the assignment. There were a number of neuropsychological assessments conducted at baseline and after 1 and 3 weeks of intervention.Significantly more participants in the iTBS and cTBS groups showed clinically significant responses as indicated by the minimal clinically important difference in the Fugl-Meyer assessment-upper extremity than those in the sham group (iTBS, 60.0%; cTBS, 64.3%; sham, 0.

A novel thermal insulation material for ultra-high temperature applications: Hierarchical porous high-entropy ceramicsThermal insulation material is a critical part of the thermal protection system (TPS) of hypersonic vehicles. Recently, high-entropy ceramics have attracted great attention in thermal insulation for their low thermal conductivity due to the scattering of phonons by multi-components and distorted lattices.
