Abstract:
Non-invasive brain stimulation, which has emerged asa successful additional treatment for the physical rehabilitation of stroke patients, includes a number of different types of stimulation, two of which are transcranial direct current and magnetic stimulation. Regrettably, research on the effect of NIBS on the quality of life and physical function among stroke survivors has shown conflicting results. Objective Aim of the current systematic review was to evaluate the impact of NIB stimulation on quality of life and physical functioning among the stroke survivors.Materials & Methods A comprehensive search of research databases was carried out in order to locate clinical trials thatinvestigated the impact of NIBS on the physical functionof stroke survivors as well as the quality of their life.Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB 2) tool was used for qualityassessment and to detect level of bias while ROBINS-Iwhich was discover in non-randomised studies of interventions tool was used for studies which were not fully clinical trials. a matter analysis was also performed to detect standard mean difference far motor function and quality of life. Results there were identified total of 23 studies to include in this review. It was saying that NIBS showed significantly positive affect on physical function Vida standard meandifference of 0.46 and quality of life having standardmean defence of 0.39. Subgroup analysis conductedbetween acute subacute or chronic patients showed nosignificant difference. Conclusion According to the findings of the study, tDCS and TMS both modalities have a positive effective influence on the rehabilitation process after a stroke in terms of theimprovement of a patient's physical function and their overall quality of life. However, Further research is required to define parameters such as dosage, type of modality, and follow up effect of NIBS on post stroke survivors.
