Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive technique called navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (nrTMS) can help people with brain tumors recover movement after surgery. About 32 patients who recently had surgery for a brain tumor near the movement-control area of the brain will receive nrTMS alongside standard rehabilitation. The main goal is to see if patients can stick with the treatment and if it is practical to use in a rehab setting.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with brain tumors associated with the motor cortex * Understand and read English, sign a written informed consent, and be willing to follow protocol requirements * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 * Motor impairment must be related to the surgical procedure or the tumor itself (in the opinion of the treating physician) * Patients who are within 7 days of brain tumor resection associated with the motor cortex * Eligibility for the nrTMS treatment will be based on motor ability and will be determined postoperatively by the surgeon Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are taking any antipsychotic medications * Patients who have ever been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia * Patients with a history of stroke
