Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of theta burst stimulation (TBS) on the upper limb motor function and activities of daily living in patients after stroke. Methods The randomized controlled trials of TBS in the treatment of stroke patients were retrieved from ProQuest, Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, China Biomedicine (CBM) and Weipu databases, and the retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to April 2021. Two reviewers used the Cochrane manual to evaluate the risk and quality of the included literatures, and a statistical analysis by RevMan5.3 was carried out after data extraction. Results Fourteen literatures were finally included in the study, with a total of 329 subjects. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with conventional rehabilitation group, TBS group reduced the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score [WMD=-4.11, 95%CI (-6.99, -1.23), P=0.005], improved the modified Barthel index (MBI) score [WMD=9.54, 95%CI (3.81, 15.27), P=0.001] and improved the action research arm test (ARAT) score [WMD=8.83, 95%CI (3.26, 14.40), P=0.002], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In addition, TBS group was better than conventional rehabilitation group in improving the upper extremity Fugl-Meyer assessment (UE-FMA) score [WMD=7.24, 95%CI (2.18, 12.31), P=0.005], and the subgroup results revealed that intermittent TBS might be more effective than continuous TBS in improving UE-FMA score (P=0.04). Conclusion Based on current evidence, TBS can effectively improve upper limb motor function and activities of daily living in stroke patients, but the above conclusion still needs to be further confirmed by more high-quality researches.
