Transcranial magnetic stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with walking and thinking exercises helps improve walking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk on their own for at least 1 minute.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (blood clot or bleed) on one side of the brain at least 6 months ago
- You are 50 years old or older
- You can walk by yourself for at least 1 minute (using a cane or walker is okay)
- You can follow instructions and are medically stable
- You do not have a pacemaker, metal in your head, or a history of seizures
- You are not currently doing another formal rehab program

This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
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 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 trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
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 study tests whether using a brain-mapping tool to guide magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to help people with lasting weakness in one arm during the early recovery phase.
