Brain stimulation treatment for lasting fatigue after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 34 and 80 years old
- Have had a stroke more than 6 months ago
- Have clinically present fatigue (feeling unusually tired from your stroke)
- Be able to follow simple three-step instructions
- Be able to safely have MRI and magnetic brain stimulation (no unsafe metal in the head, and no seizure history)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and a talking therapy program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve energy and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tACS—electrical stimulation applied to the scalp) to help reduce fatigue and improve strength in people recovering from their first stroke. Researchers want to understand how fatigue develops after stroke and whether brain stimulation can help you regain function faster.
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment using magnetic pulses) to improve heart rate control in people who have had a stroke. It may help your body better manage stress and blood pressure.
This trial tests a brain stimulation therapy designed to reduce fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. If you experience moderate to severe fatigue and have a stable medication routine, this study might help determine if a non-invasive treatment can improve your energy levels.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain can improve movement in people with weakness after a stroke. It may help if your stroke happened more than 2 weeks ago and you can safely receive the magnetic treatment.
