rTMS is a safe and efficacious technique to stimulate specific areas in several neuropsychiatric diseases; However, the application of rTMS in children with cerebral palsy is rarely observed, especially the efficacy of the treatment of speech disorders in children with cerebral palsy is unclear.

 92 cases of speech retardation in children with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into combined treatment group (32 cases of speech training with rTMS),speech training group(30 cases of convention speech training) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group (30 cases of rTMS treatment) . After 6 months of treatment,Chinese language retardation assessment (S-S) was used to evaluate language ability.

 1.rTMS stimulation combined with speech training can promote the improvement of speech ability in children with cerebral palsy. 2.rTMS stimulation combined with speech training is more effective than language training or rTMS stimulation alone. 3.rTMS is a painless,non-invasive and safe brain control technique,which can provide a new therapeutic method for the early intervention of speech retardation in children with cerebral palsy.
