Magnetic brain stimulation for heart health after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 3 months ago
- You are between 35 and 80 years old
- You are stable enough to follow commands and attend sessions
- No serious heart disease, epilepsy, or uncontrolled migraines
- No metal implants in your head or inner ear
- No active infection, skin sores on the treatment area, or recent fracture/surgery on your weak side

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 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.
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 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 a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
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.
