Abstract

Abstract:

Aphasia is considered to be a language network disorder caused by organic brain lesions， which seriously affect the daily communication of patients， and relying only on routine rehabilitation training has limited efficacy. Currently， repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation （rTMS）is extensively utilized in the clinical treatment of aphasia to facilitate functional recovery by inducing persistent cortical circuit plasticity alterations. Theta burst stimulation （TBS）， a novel treatment modality of rTMS，has a fundamental principle largely similar to that of traditional rTMS.However，it can stimulate cortical plasticity within a shorter period and is gradually being employed in the treatment of aphasia.This article reviews the research advancement of TBS in the treatment of aphasia and its related aspects，the aim is to offer a new idea and reference for the clinical selection of TBS stimulation.

Key words: Aphasia, Stroke, Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, Theta burst stimulation
