TMS for memory and thinking after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation treatment (TMS) can help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke within the last two weeks and have mild cognitive difficulties.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a first stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) within the last two weeks.
- Have some trouble with memory or thinking (scoring less than 26 on a standard test called MoCA).
- Never had a bleeding stroke or epilepsy.
- Able to undergo brain stimulation treatment.

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation can improve memory and thinking in people whose cognitive problems are caused by cerebral small vessel disease (damage to the small blood vessels in the brain). You may qualify if you have mild memory or thinking issues that have lasted at least three months.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (iTBS) can help people with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve memory and thinking skills.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are still in the early recovery phase (between 10 days and 5 months after their stroke) and have some ongoing cognitive problems.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called iTBS can help improve mood problems after a stroke by targeting different brain areas.
