The Apoplectic (also known as cerebral apoplexy, cerebrovascular accident apoplectic insult, apoplexia cerebri – colloquially referred to as apoplex or insult) terms a suddenly occurring brain disease that frequently leeds to continuing function failures of the central nervous system caused by critical disturbances of the cerebral blood supply.

The terminology of the apoplectic is not used standardized. Synonymic to Apolpectic stroke are the Anglo-American terms Stroke and Cerebrovascular accident (CVA). These terms are frequently used as generic names for different neurological disease patterns. They have sudden symptoms in common that occur after a limited cerebral circulatory disorder.

Current rTMS-studies concerning Apoplectic:

• Transcranial magnetic stimulation and aphasia rehabilitation
• Improved receptive and expressive language abilities in nonfluent aphasic stroke patients after application of rTMS: an open protocol case series
• TMS in stroke
• Informing dose-finding studies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to enhance motor functio: a qualitative systematic review
• Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at 1Hz and 5Hz produces sustained improvement in motor function and disability after ischaemic stroke
• Long-term effects of rTMS on motor recovery in patients after subacute stroke
• Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and intensive occupational therapy for poststroke patients with upper limb hemiparesis: a preliminary study of a 15-day protocol
• Excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation induces improvements in chronic post-stroke aphasia
• Comparison of the effects of high- and low-frequency repetitve transcranial magnetic stimulation on upper limb hemiparesis in the early phase of stroke
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation in mild to severe hemiparesis early after stroke: a proof of principle and novel approach to improve motor function
