we aim to measure the effect of rTMS on dysarthria and postural disturbance in patients with PSP in Mashhad on 2023
Design
clinical trial with intervention and sham groups,parallel,triple blind ,randomized,in phase 2-3 design on 12 PSP patients,enrolled in may and jun 2023 and followed for 4 months
Settings and conduct
12 PSP patients were first scored for movement (by motion kinematics analysis) and speech and swallowing (scoring by speech therapist) from patients diagnosed with PSP who were chosen from the movement disorders clinic . The place of rTMS is the psychiatry clinic, the speech and swallowing evaluation place will be the speech therapy clinic ,the balance analysis place will be in the physiotherapy clinic. The patients are then randomly and blindly divided into intervention and sham groups and receive 10 sessions of rTMS every other day (in the sham group, a three cm nonconductor piece is placed between the cap of the device and the scalp) blinding of the patients and the researchers is done by sealed letters that contain codes determined based on permutation blocks.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
the patients who have PSP diagnosis that have ability for walking a few steps and speaking in a few words but they don't have previous dysarthria ,properioception or vesttibular sensory disorders and stroke and also who don't have rTms containdications
Intervention groups
rTms is done by two magsim 200 that is connectedto 2 groups of flat coils and the intensity of produced MEP is until 1mV. the coil sites in contact with skullis 2 cm in laterals and 1 cm below the inion.
Main outcome variables
postural disturbance with motion analysis and kinematic analysis of movement and scoring based on the calculation of the result of the measured forces;state of dysarthria and swallowing with the Pietrenberg auditory-perceptual evaluation index

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
there was used randominaztion techniques by blocks for patients' groups randominazation, for this purpose we must make a block by 30 charachters with combination of A ,B alphabet in "sealed envelope" site and use it for randominazation.
we use allocation concealment by sealed envelops
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
blinding was done in participant patients,investigators and outcome assesors.patients and investigators by using a secret code in the selead envelopes remain blinded and information analizer is chosen from out of researcher group
Intervention patient (receive RTMS or sham) in sealed envelopes that code
are received. Coding by one of the project collaborators
It takes place and the doctor, evaluator and patient are blinded.
