Brain zaps may help stroke patients see the whole picture
NCT ID NCT07580066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle magnetic pulse called cTBS can improve attention in people who, after a stroke, ignore one side of their surroundings. Sixty adults with right-brain stroke and left-sided neglect will receive real or fake stimulation to the cerebellum or brain's attention center. Researchers will track eye movements and brain activity to see if the cerebellum plays a key role in recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) using a magnetic coil
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new non-invasive treatment to help stroke survivors with neglect pay better attention to their surroundings.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) that is not yet recruiting. It tests a temporary effect, not a cure, and may not lead to lasting improvement.
