High‐frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and intermittent theta‐burst stimulation for spasticity management in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis

Abstract

The results show that HF-rTMS and iTBS significantly reduce spasticity measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale, in contrast to sham stimulation. Some evidence was found in favor of a longer-lasting effect of iTBS on the SESS and of a reduction in pain and fatigue after HF-rTMS.
