The Persistent and Broadly Modulating Effect of Inhibitory rTMS in Nonfluent Aphasic Patients: A Sham-Controlled, Double-Blind Study

Conclusions. The results of this study provide evidence that inhibitory rTMS, through downregulating the circuitry of the right pars triangularis (PTr), achieves a persistent and broadly modulating effect, irrespective of aphasia severity and subtype. Patients who show lower rMT in the right motor system would seem to benefit the most from inhibitory rTMS.
