First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation technique called IAF-rTMS to help people recover movement after a stroke. Thirty-four adults who had a first ischemic stroke will receive either real or sham stimulation for two weeks each, in a crossover design. Researchers will measure motor function and brain activity to see if the tailored approach works better than placebo.

Active substance
Individual Alpha Frequency-based repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (IAF-rTMS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, personalized way to improve arm and leg movement after a stroke, without drugs or surgery.
