Modafinil and exercise for post-stroke fatigue
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
The trial tests whether the drug modafinil combined with a structured exercise program can reduce disabling tiredness (fatigue) after a stroke. It is for people at least 3 months past their stroke who still struggle with significant fatigue.

This trial is testing whether a structured exercise program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It is a small study to see if this approach is practical and helpful for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still feel very tired.
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 trial studies how your brain responds when you feel mentally and physically tired, using trained healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand fatigue better, which could guide future treatments for people who struggle with fatigue.
