Abstract:

Objective

To systematically evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the rehabilitation of motor function in children with cerebral palsy.

Methods

Computer searches of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, China Biomedical Database, China Knowledge Network, Wipro Journal Database, Wanfang Database were conducted to screen randomised controlled trials on rTMS for improvement of motor function in children with cerebral palsy with a timeframe of the search from library construction to October 2022. The quality of the included literature was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Evaluation and The Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale, and Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis were performed using RevMan5.4.

Results

Seventeen papers with 1283 patients were finally included. rTMS significantly improved the Gross motor function measure-88 scores (MD=6.74, 95%CI: 5.26-8.21, P<0.05) and ankle mobility scores (MD=3.38, 95%CI: 2.87-3.89, P<0.05), developmental quotient (DQ) score (MD=5.62, 95%CI: 1.62-9.61, P<0.05), but fine motor function measure score (MD=2.21, 95%CI: -0.46-4.89, P>0.05) was not significant. The risk of bias was low when GMGM-88 was used as an indicator.

Conclusion

rTMS is effective in improving gross motor function and DQ in children with cerebral palsy.
