Brain Stimulation Study: How Left Motor Area Responds
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research study uses magnetic pulses on your scalp to stimulate a specific brain area and measure how your brain responds. The goal is to understand how different parts of your brain work together and communicate during this type of brain stimulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can change brain activity in two specific areas of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. The results may help in developing treatments for conditions that affect movement.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to understand how the brain controls movement and learning. Researchers will measure changes in your brain's electrical activity while you play a video game, which may help them understand how the brain learns new motor skills.
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.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS while monitoring your brain activity through electrodes you already have implanted for your treatment. Researchers want to learn how brain stimulation affects brain recordings in people being treated for neurological or psychiatric conditions.
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 study tests how a brain stimulation method affects how well you do thinking and memory tasks. You would complete cognitive testing before and after the stimulation, and the researchers look at whether your performance changes.
