Abstract
Objective: To assess the role of transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methodology: This randomized clinical trial included data from 110 MS patients. All patients underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and we had a control group.
Results: After 3 weeks, TMS showed greater improvements in gait (–37.6% vs –21.2%), manual dexterity (–16.3% vs –6.4%), cognition (+6.5 vs +1.3 SDMT), fatigue (–24.7% vs –14.4%), and quality of life (–17.3% vs –7.9%). Disability reduction was greater with TMS (EDSS –0.4 vs –0.2), supporting its clinical effectiveness.
Conclusion: Integrating TMS into rehabilitation allows personalized MS treatment based on disease characteristics and patient-specific factors.

Key words: Multiple sclerosis, MS, transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS.
