Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has become a method for stroke rehabilitation. Based on the functional characteristics of the cerebellum and corticocerebellar tract, cerebellar stimulation as an alternative strategy to cortical stimulation has attracted extensive research. The aim of this article is to review the clinical application, possible mechanisms of action, factors influencing efficacy, safety, limitations and perspectives of cerebellar magnetic stimulation for multiple dysfunctions after stroke.
