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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
