摘　　要：[Objectives]To conduct a comprehensive examination of the evidence-based impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)on upper extremity functionality in patients with acute stroke.[Methods]A rigorous and systematic electronic search was conducted across the Medline,PubMed,and Web of Science databases,encompassing literature up to July 1,2024.To ensure the reliability of the in-cluded studies,an assessment of their risk of bias was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software,in accordance with the rigorous standards out-lined in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Revieus.Subsequently,we employed either the random-effects model or the fixed-effects model,depending on the heterogeneity of the data,to estimate the standardized mean difference(SMD)in outcomes,utilizing Stata 18.0 software for statistical analysis.[Results]Our review encompassed a total of five studies,involving 252 patients with acute stroke.The pooled analysis of these studies revealed a statistically significant improvement in Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity(FMA-UE)scores among pa-tients who received rTMS therapy(SMD=2.71,95%CI:0.85 to 4.56;P<0.0001),albeit with considerable heterogeneity(I^(2)=97.65%)across the trials.[Conclusions]The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis underscore the promising potential of rTMS in enhancing upper extremity function in patients who have experienced an acute stroke.These findings provide compelling evidence for the therapeutic benefits of rTMS in this patient population.
