Aromatherapy and magnetic brain stimulation for stroke-related insomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining aromatherapy (using essential oils) with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a way to gently stimulate brain areas using magnetic pulses) can help improve sleep in people who have had a stroke. If you are a stroke survivor with insomnia, this might give you a new non-drug option to sleep better.

This study tests whether combining scalp acupuncture with a magnetic brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) can help improve arm and hand movement in people recovering from a recent stroke. They will also look at how these treatments affect the brain's networks.
This trial tests whether a magnetic field can help clear blocked brain arteries in people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke from a blocked blood vessel) within the last 24 hours. The treatment is given through a special device that uses magnets to help dissolve or remove the blockage, potentially restoring blood flow and improving recovery.
This study tests a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment tailored to each person, to help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people within 10 weeks of their first stroke who have some cognitive difficulties.
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 if light, electrical, or magnetic treatments can help people with insomnia, narcolepsy, or REM sleep behavior disorder improve their sleep-wake problems. It compares these gentle brain stimulation methods to understand which works best.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), can improve sleep in people who have insomnia and also feel like their memory or thinking is slipping. If you take sleep medication and notice memory issues, this trial might help you find a new option.
