NCT ID NCT07113067
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tests whether a fast form of brain stimulation (accelerated rTMS) can safely improve apathy—loss of motivation and withdrawal—in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. About 40 adults aged 40+ will receive either real or fake stimulation to a brain area linked to motivation. The goal is to see if this treatment reduces apathy symptoms and is well-tolerated, since no FDA-approved options currently exist.
