About this trial

To clarify the clinical efficacy of high-frequency rTMS on patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment, fNIRS and EEG techniques were used to observe the changes in brain functional activities of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment after rTMS treatment, and to clarify the neuroregulatory effect of rTMS on patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment.
