Need for updating safety recommendations on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in stroke patients

A paper entitled "Inhibition versus facilitation of contralesional motor cortices in stroke: Deriving a model to tailor brain stimulation" was published by Sankarasubramanian et al. in Clinical Neurophysiology in March 2017 (Sankarasubramanian et al., 2017). That article reported the results of a study that aimed at investigating whether facilitation of contralesional dorsal premotor cortex by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) permitted to improve upper-limb function in severely affected post-stroke patients.
