| Abstract | Background Prior studies have 3suggested that theta burst stimulation (TBS) may be a promising intervention for the rehabilitation of aphasia after stroke. However, the results of these investigations have been inconsistent, with no definitive consensus on its efficacy and safety. Given the inconclusive nature of the existing evidence, this study aims to conduct a comprehensive and systematic review to evaluate the therapeutic effects of TBS on aphasia in stroke patients. Methods We will perform an extensive search of eight online databases from their inception to August 1, 2024, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine the impact of TBS on aphasia in stroke patients. The primary outcome will be the severity of aphasia, assessed using a suite of standardized evaluation tools. Secondary outcomes will include measures of naming, repetition, comprehension, spontaneous speech, aphasia quotient, quality of life, and documentation of adverse events. The review process will involve rigorous study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and evaluation of the certainty of evidence by two independent reviewers. Data synthesis and statistical analysis will be conducted using Review Manager (RevMan) software, version 5.3. If significant heterogeneity is not detected among the studies, a meta-analysis will be performed. Otherwise, a narrative qualitative summary will be provided. The quality of evidence will be assessed using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) system. Discussion This study will be the first systematic review to comprehensively synthesize the existing evidence regarding the application of TBS in the treatment of aphasia in stroke patients. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for clinicians and policymakers, facilitating the development of more equitable and high-quality healthcare services for this patient population.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
