Brain stimulation shows promise for unexplained paralysis

NCT ID NCT01352910

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS could help people with psychogenic paralysis (paralysis with no physical cause). 66 participants received two sessions of 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, while also checking for side effects.
