Start Date

Mar 26, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Hemiparesis Autonomic Dysfunction Stroke

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to conventional neurological rehabilitation on heart rate variability (HRV), quality of life, upper extremity muscle strength and autonomic symptoms in patients with stroke.

Eligibility

Min Age: 35 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Sham rTMS Protocol and a medical device called rTMS M1 Motor Cortex Protocol for people with autonomic dysfunction, hemiparesis, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 35 Years to 80 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICErTMS M1 Motor Cortex Protocol

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) will be applied using the MagVenture MagPro R30 device with a Figure Eight Coil according to the study protocol. rTMS will be delivered to the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1) upper extremity motor area at a low frequency of 1 Hz, 5 sessions per week for 4 weeks, totaling 20 sessions.

DEVICESham rTMS Protocol

Sham (placebo) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) will be applied to mimic the procedure without delivering active stimulation. It was planned to apply it daily for 20 sessions.
