the experimental group
the control group
Stroke hemiplegia patients are randomly assigned to the experimental group (scalp acupuncture + low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation + routine rehabilitation treatment). All patients in the day of inpatient and the fourteenth day received DTI magnetic resonance examination twice to study the change in white matter fiber microstructure.
