The Effect of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation rTMS on Hand Muscles in Chronic Stroke Patients.

Evaluation of 3 Patterned rTMS Stimulation Dosage on Corticospinal Excitability and Motor Learning in Stroke Patients

Sponsor

Duke University

Enrollment

26 participants

Start Date

Jun 9, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Chronic stroke survivors Stroke Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Motor Learning Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Repetitive Chronic Stroke Patients Arm Weakness as a Consequence of Stroke Brain Stimulation Stroke Patients

Summary

The study is about using a brain stimulation technique called rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to help improve hand muscles in people who had a stroke. Researchers want to understand how this device can help stroke patients use their hands better.

Eligibility
