Brain Stimulation to Help Movement After Brain Tumor Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had brain tumor surgery (not just a biopsy) between 2–3 years ago or within 1–2 weeks
- You have weakness in an arm or leg caused by the surgery, measured by specific muscle strength tests
- You are between 22 and 65 years old
- You can understand the study and sign consent forms
- You have not had TMS treatment before (other prior therapies are okay)

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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) given before surgery can help the brain adapt and preserve movement function during surgery for a fast-growing brain tumor. It aims to reduce the risk of losing movement after surgery.
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 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 study tests whether magnetic brain stimulation before and after surgery can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems recover their thinking abilities faster. You would receive either real or sham stimulation for a few days around your surgery.
