Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a Form of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation, as a Possible Treatment for Post-stroke Fatigue.

Exploring brain stimulation for post-stroke fatigue relief.

Recruiting
34-80 years
All
Phase 2

This study looks at using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who feel very tired after a stroke. A stroke is when blood flow to the brain is blocked, and it can make people feel exhausted all the time. rTMS is a way of using magnets to stimulate the brain without surgery or pain, and it has helped with mood issues like depression. In this study, people who have been recovering from a stroke for more than six months can participate. The researchers will check how participants feel before and after they receive the magnetic treatment to see if it helps reduce tiredness.

  • The study will happen in Atlanta, and you'll need to visit the location for treatment.
  • Participants will receive either real or fake (sham) treatment, but they won't know which one.
  • To join, you must be between 34-80 years old and have had a stroke over six months ago.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
