highly significantp = 2.45598e−05
The analysis demonstrated a highly significant increased effect size when stimulation was applied to subcortical strokes versus the mixed strokes ( p = 2.45598e−05, two-tailed Mann–Whitney U -test.) When sub-analyzed within the context of type of stimulation technique, this significant finding was reproducible for both rTMS and tDCS articles (rTMS p = 0.01115294 and tDCS p = 0.01428572, Mann–Whitney two-tailed U -test).
