    Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) significantly improves upper limb motor function and reduces spasticity in stroke patients.

  • 2

    Optimal rPMS parameters include a frequency of 10 Hz, session duration of 10-20 minutes, and treatment courses of at least 21 days.

  • 3

    Neural-targeted rPMS approaches outperform muscle-targeted methods, particularly during the subacute phase of stroke recovery.

  • 4

    The study analyzed 14 trials involving 580 participants, confirming rPMS's therapeutic efficacy through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

  • 5

    rPMS may enhance recovery by promoting homeostatic plasticity and corticomuscular coherence, providing a basis for clinical application.
