Research progress in spasmodic torticollis rehabilitation treatment

Table 2 Efficacy of rTMS therapy for dystonia

Ref.	Transcranial magnetic prescription	Evaluation method	Curative effect
Bradnam et al[24]	Five d/wk from Monday to Friday, 10 times	a, b	Cervical dystonia symptoms, pain and quality of life
Hao et al[25]	Frequency was 10 Hz, 30 min/time for 7 d	c, d, e, f	Significantly relieved muscle tension spasm and improved quality of life
Şan et al[26]	Frequency 5 Hz, 15 min/time, 10 for 2 wk	c, g, h, i	Spasticity and the frequency of the seizures improved significantly
Zhao et al[27]	Frequency 1 Hz, 1/d, 6/wk and continuous treatment for 4 wk	c, f, j	Improved limb spasm, restored limb movement function, and improved daily living ability
Cheng et al[28]	The stimulation frequency was 1 Hz, each sequence with 10 pulses at 2 s intervals for a total of 1200 pulses, 1/d, 5 times/wk, and 8 wk as 1 session	c, j, k	Improved the degree of muscle tone control, alleviated muscle spasm, and improved motor dysfunction
Yuan et al[29]	The stimulation frequency was 1 Hz with 120 stimulus trains of 2 s between 10 pulses for a total of 1200 pulses. Once/d for 5 d per wk for 8 wk	c, j, k	Effectively relieved the degree of spasm, improved the motor function and daily life activities
