Brain stimulation to treat fatigue after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can reduce fatigue after a stroke. If you have ongoing tiredness that started or got worse after your stroke, this treatment might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke more than 6 months ago
- You currently have fatigue that affects your daily life
- You do not have metal implants in your head or a history of seizures
- You can follow simple instructions (like a 3-step command)
- You do not have other neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease
- You are not pregnant and your blood pressure is not severely high

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce fatigue after a first stroke. It may help improve energy levels and quality of life during recovery.
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 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 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 study tests whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
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.
