Core Tip	This study examined the role of combined application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and Quantitative Insomnia Sleep Inventory (QUISI) in the rehabilitation of post-stroke depression (PSD). Innovations included designing experiments based on China’s rTMS standards, using QUISI to evaluate therapeutic effects, developing monitoring protocols and quality plans, and adjusting technical parameters. The results showed that rTMS significantly increased the recovery and effective rates of PSD patients (evidenced by reduced Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 scores, and improved QUISI sleep efficiency and maintenance rate in the observation group). Thus, rTMS is effective for PSD, and QUISI can be used for rehabilitation assessment.
