New brain zaps could reignite motivation in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07113067
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a fast form of brain stimulation, called accelerated rTMS, can safely improve apathy—loss of motivation and withdrawal—in people who have had a stroke. About 40 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have significant apathy will receive either real or fake stimulation to a brain area linked to motivation. The goal is to see if this treatment is comfortable, safe, and effective, since no approved medications exist for post-stroke apathy.
