Through a randomized controlled trial design, 40 children aged 2–6 years with mental retardation were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into two groups: conventional treatment group and rTMS combined with cognitive training treatment group. The results showed that compared with the conventional treatment group, the rTMS combined with cognitive training treatment group exhibited more significant effects in improving children’s cognitive function, social adaptability, and quality of life. This study not only enriched the theoretical basis of rehabilitation treatment for children with mental retardation but also provided strong evidence support for clinical practice.
