Brain zaps after stroke: could TMS help heal faster?
NCT ID NCT06639360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve recovery in people who have had a stroke and undergone a clot removal procedure. Sixty participants will receive either real or sham TMS sessions alongside standard care. Researchers will measure changes in brain damage, disability, and safety outcomes over the first few days.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new, non-invasive way to improve recovery and reduce brain damage after a stroke.
