Brief Summary: Rationale Acute stroke leaves many patients with functional deficits of which upper extremity motor impairment is one of the most disabling Evidence from imaging and electrophysiological studies converge on the idea that impaired motor function after stroke is associated with disrupted network activity in the brain Non-invasive brain stimulation methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS can be used to restore disrupted network activity and have been shown to successfully facilitate recovery of motor function in patients with stroke Application of continuous theta burst stimulation cTBS an inhibitory form of TMS to the contralesional motor cortex has been shown to improve the recovery of motor function in patients with stroke However responsiveness to this treatment varies considerably between stroke patients and the mechanisms through which contralesional cTBS facilitates recovery of motor function remain unclear

Objective To determine if contralesional cTBS normalizes interhemispheric inhibition from the contralesional to ipsilesional primary motor cortex stroke patients with motor impairments Age-matched healthy persons will serve as controls

Study design A prospective open-label within-subject intervention study

Study population 40 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke in one hemisphere and a unilateral paresis of the upper extremity and 40 age-matched controls

Main endpoints Primary endpoint Interhemispheric inhibition from the contralesional to ipsilesional primary motor cortex Secondary endpoints contralesional intracortical inhibition effect of contralesional TMS interference on finger tapping frequency
