First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people with psychogenic paralysis (paralysis with no physical cause). 66 participants received either real or sham rTMS over two days. The main goal was to see if paralysis improved right after treatment and again two months later. The study also tracked side effects to confirm safety.
