Zapping the brain to help stroke survivors think clearly again

NCT ID NCT05195398

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 18, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique, combined with computer-based brain training games, can help improve memory, focus, and thinking speed in people who have had a minor stroke. Researchers at Johns Hopkins will enroll about 60 stroke survivors and randomly assign them to receive either the real stimulation plus training or a fake stimulation plus training. The main goal is to see if the stimulation makes the brain training more effective at improving cognitive skills and brain network connections over six months.
