In individuals with chronic stroke, impairment of the paretic arm may be exacerbated by increased contralesional transcallosal inhibition (TCI). Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) can decrease primary motor cortex (M1) excitability and TCI. However, contralesional cTBS shows inconsistent effects after stroke. Variable effects of cTBS could stem from failure to pair stimulation with skilled motor practice or a focus of applying cTBS over M1.
