About this trial

To explore the safety of applying repetitive low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation using a wearable medical electromagnetic generator in stroke patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged 19 to 80 years old

Those who are confirmed to have lesions in only one cerebral hemisphere or one brainstem on brain computed tomography (CT) or brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Patients with subacute stroke between 2 weeks and less than 3 months after onset

Motor function evaluation The total score is 0 to 56 points based on the FMA of the upper extremity on the affected side [1], and patients show impairment in upper extremity motor function.

Disqualifiers

Cases accompanied by existing serious neurogenic diseases such as history of underlying stroke, brain tumor, hypoxic brain injury, epilepsy, or organic brain disease

Cases accompanied by existing serious psychiatric diseases such as major schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, etc., that are receiving continuous drug treatment before the stroke.

Those with unstable conditions in the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, and endocrine systems, or with severe internal diseases such as signs of systemic infection, with unstable vital signs, or with poor overall health with a life expectancy of less than 1 year.

Those with impaired cognitive ability (MMSE less than 10 points)
