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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help recovery.
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 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 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 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.
This trial tests whether a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation, given with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand movement after a recent ischemic stroke. It compares three different approaches to see which works best.
