Effect of r-TMS over standard therapy in decreasing muscle tone of spastic cerebral palsy patients.

摘要: Spastic cerebral palsy (CP) is the one of most common neurological disorders occurring due to damage immature brain or any other lesion at time birth. To aid in making life CP patient meaningful, several interventions such as medical, surgical and rehabilitation have been employed date. Besides these, recently repetitive Transcranial magnetic stimulation (r-TMS) a new found approach which being for treating various psychological conditions. The aim this study was observe effects r-TMS on muscle spasticity patients by stimulating motor cortex area brain, responsible movements. In study, 20 subjects diagnosed with were recruited 10 each placed two groups, namely research group (RG) (mean age, height weight 7.99 (SD = 4.66) years, 116.7 23.57) cm 21.40 10.95) kg, respectively) control (CG) 8.41 4.32) 107.9 26.33) cm, 12.63) respectively). frequencies 5 Hz 10 Hz administered 15 min daily RG followed standard therapy (ST) 1 h duration days. Moreover, given only Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) used an outcome measure determine level spasticity. A pre- assessment MAS score performed both CG prior starting therapy; similarly post-assessment after days done changes post-therapy. Statistical analysis pre vs post scores showed that few muscles reduction tightness administering ST CG. On contrary, underwent combined significant decrease (p < 0.05) all selected therapy.
