Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor function in cerebral palsy children with epilepsy. Methods 270 cerebral palsy children with epilepsy hospitalized from February, 2011 to September, 2014 were ran-domized to control group (n=130) and treatment group (n=140). The control group received comprehensive rehabilitation, including mas-sage, exercise, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech training, cognitive function training and medication, and the treatment group re-ceived rTMS in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) and Peabody Developmental Measure Scale-Gross Motor (PDMS-GM) before, and 1 and 2 months after treatment. Results The total scores of GMFM-88 and PDMS-GM in-creased more in the treatment group than in the control group (F>93.9, P<0.001). Conclusion rTMS can further improve the motor function in cerebral palsy children with epilepsy.
