New treatment option for Stroke
Official title Identifying Personalized Brain States Predicting Residual Corticospinal Tract Output After Stroke
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06365099
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) interventions could feasibly strengthen residual corticospinal tract (CST) connections and promote poststroke hand motor recovery. To maximize the effects of such interventions, they must be delivered during brain activity patterns during which TMS best activates the residual CST and enhances its neural transmission.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
