Transcranial magnetic stimulation for movement in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to try to improve motor function in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. It also uses EEG to measure brain activity to understand how the brain changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can understand and follow the study instructions.
- You have normal or corrected vision and hearing.
- You do not have metal implants near your head or a device like a pacemaker or cochlear implant.

This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and movement training to see if it can improve muscle control and brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help children move better and improve their quality of life.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
This trial tests whether a magnetic stimulation treatment (called rTMS) can help reduce muscle stiffness in children with hemiplegia caused by a brain injury. The treatment is non-invasive and may improve arm movement.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses magnetic pulses applied to the head, and half of the participants will receive a sham (inactive) treatment to compare results.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), targeted precisely using brain imaging, can safely reduce the involuntary movements caused by some psychiatric medications. If you have tardive dyskinesia, this treatment might help improve your motor symptoms.
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
