The early prognostic application of transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) for assessing motor and functional recovery in ischemic stroke patients has yielded contradictory results. We performed a prospective study of patients with acute ischemic stroke and motor deficit to evaluate the early prognostic value of TMS in motor and functional recovery.
