Brain zaps & needles: new combo therapy aims to rewire Stroke-Damaged movement

NCT ID NCT07113990

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two therapies—electroacupuncture and non-invasive brain stimulation (rTMS)—helps people recover arm and leg movement after a stroke better than brain stimulation alone. About 180 adults who had a stroke within the last 6 months will receive either real or sham electroacupuncture along with standard brain stimulation. Researchers will measure changes in movement, walking ability, and daily independence to see if the combined approach is more effective.
