Similar sealed envelopes will be used to conceal the allocation in a sequentially numbered opaque package, Blinding description: An independent researcher will randomise eligible participants. The researcher administering rTMS will be unblinded. To ensure allocation concealment, the independent researcher (randomiser) will provide allocation details (stimulation type) via a participant ID-coded email to the rTMS administrator immediately before the rTMS session. Participants will be remained blind to stimulation type until the end of procedures, as the researcher conducting assessments. N/A Stroke. Intervention 1: Intervention group: 10 sessions of HF-rTMS, delivered to lesional primary motor cortex area (M1), Frequency is set to 10 HZ. Dose for every session is 1000 pulses delivered in 10 trains of 10 seconds, with 50 seconds of rest in between. The total time for every session is 10 minutes. Patients undergo conventional rehab for stroke such as ROM and strengthening exercises, sitting and standing training, gait training with mirror and electrical stimulation based on the severity of symptoms. Intervention 2: Control group: Sham rTMS sessions are performed with a protocol similar to the intervention group, although the orientation of the coil is different and the intensity is set o minimum and simulated sounds are played through a speaker. The rehabilitation protocol is the same as the intervention group.
