Brain stimulation for breathing and gut health after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help improve breathing and gut health in people recovering from a stroke or brain injury. The treatment uses magnetic pulses on the head, which may help the brain heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a stroke or a traumatic brain injury for the first time, and it happened between 10 days and 6 months ago.
- Your symptoms are stable and not getting worse.
- You have not had lung disease (like COPD or lung cancer), chest or spine deformities, or surgery on your chest or abdomen.
- You do not have epilepsy, metal implants, or other serious health problems (like heart, lung, kidney, or liver failure).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
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 a brain-stimulation treatment to improve depression symptoms in people who have depression after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have major depression and meet specific safety and eligibility checks.
This study combines magnetic brain stimulation with physical therapy to help improve movement, balance, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side for at least 6 months. It may help you regain more function in your affected arm or leg.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
