Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a first-time stroke confirmed by CT or MRI scan between 1–12 months ago
- Experiencing cognitive impairment (memory, thinking, or concentration problems) with a specific test score below a cutoff
- Age 35–75 years old
- No severe difficulty with speech, vision, or hearing that would prevent you from completing the study
- Stable vital signs and no worsening neurological symptoms
- If taking memory-boosting medications, must be on a stable dose for at least 3 weeks

This trial studies if using two types of brain stimulation (safe electrical and magnetic pulses) can help improve thinking and movement after a stroke. If you are still having memory or concentration issues, this might help you recover more function.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to specific brain areas can improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. The treatment is non-invasive (no surgery) and aims to help with the cognitive difficulties that often follow a stroke.
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 noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
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 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.
