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 tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment designed to help people who have had a stroke recover their working memory and thinking skills. The treatment uses electrical stimulation applied to the scalp and may help your brain rewire itself after stroke damage.
This trial tests whether combining two types of safe brain stimulation—tDCS and TMS—can help improve thinking abilities and movement control in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients within 1–6 months of their first stroke.
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 a new, personalized magnetic brain stimulation to help stroke survivors recover thinking and memory skills. It may be a good fit for people who have had their first stroke and have cognitive problems.
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.
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.
