Motor Fiber Tract Changes Following iTBS Stimulation in a Basal Ganglia Stroke Patient: A Case Report
Abstract
This case report describes the application of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the cerebellum in a 46-year-old female patient with basal ganglia infarction. Following a 2-week intervention, enhanced corticospinal tract connectivity and contralateral compensatory fiber reorganization in specific brain regions were observed. These findings suggest that cerebellar iTBS may promote neuroplastic reorganization after basal ganglia stroke, underscoring the important role of the cerebello-cortical pathway in functional recovery.
