Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the supplementary motor area in motor function in Parkinson's disease patients.
Method: Databases searched included five databases from October 7, 2022, to January 4, 2023. The Cochrane Bias Risk Assessment Tool was used for quality assessment. Standardized mean differences were calculated using a random-effects model. Outcome measure is the motor function examination of the motor part of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale.
Results: Seven studies totaling 374 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that stimulation of supplementary motor area significantly improved motor function in Parkinson's disease patients compared with sham stimulation (standardized mean differences = -1.24; 95% CI, -2.24 to -0.24; P = 0.02; I2 = 93%). Stimulation of the same target (supplementary motor area) subgroup analysis showed that high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is more effective than low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in improving motor function in Parkinson's disease (standardized mean differences = -1.39; 95% CI, -2.21 to -0.57; P = 0.04; I2 = 77.2%).
Conclusions: Overall, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over supplementary motor area had a statistically significant improvement in motor function in Parkinson's disease patients, and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is statistically significantly more effective than low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.
期刊介绍:
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
