NCT ID NCT07512492
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with balance exercises could improve walking in people who had a stroke. Thirty stroke survivors, aged 50 to 60, participated. Researchers measured changes in their gait and ankle movement to see if the combination therapy helped.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) device and proprioceptive training exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive way to improve walking ability in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. TMS effects can be mild and vary from person to person.
