Brain zaps help stroke survivors walk better?
NCT ID NCT07531797
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique applied to the back of the brain (cerebellum) could improve walking and balance in 40 adults with cerebral small vessel disease. Participants received either real or fake stimulation over several sessions. The goal was to see if the real treatment led to better scores on walking tests like the Timed Up and Go test. The study is complete, and results may show whether this approach offers a safe way to ease mobility problems.
