Brain zaps for wobbly ankles: new study tests rTMS therapy

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS, combined with standard ankle exercises, can improve chronic ankle instability better than exercises alone. Forty adults with a history of ankle sprains will be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham rTMS alongside a 4-week exercise program. The goal is to see if targeting specific brain areas can boost muscle control and reduce the risk of future ankle injuries.
