Intermittent theta-burst stimulation for post-stroke cognitive impairment: a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) significantly affects patients' quality of life. Although standard repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promising efficacy, the effectiveness of the newer, more time-efficient intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) remains to be validated. METHODS: Two groups of randomly assigned patients with PSCI received either four weeks of two 600-pulse iTBS treatment sessions with a 50-minute interval between sessions or sham stimulation. Cognitive function and activities of daily living were assessed before and after treatment using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI). RESULTS: < 0.05for all). Only one patient experienced a headache during treatment, and no serious adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION: Two blocks of iTBS therapy with 600 pulses each at 50-minute intervals demonstrated favorable therapeutic effects in patients with PSCI.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
