Zapping the brain to reboot after stroke: new combo therapy tested
NCT ID NCT07573475
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS and TMS) can improve memory, thinking, and movement in people who have had a stroke. Twenty-four participants will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation daily for one week. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive and motor function using tests and brain imaging to see if the real stimulation provides extra benefit.
