Real-time Personalized Brain State-dependent TMS After Stroke
Towards Real-time Personalized Brain State-dependent TMS to Enhance Poststroke Hand Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Nov 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) interventions could feasibly strengthen residual corticospinal tract (CST) connections and enhance recovery of paretic upper extremity function after stroke. This project will test whether personalized brain state-dependent TMS can activate the residual corticospinal tract better than standard TMS, and evaluate the relationship between this activation and upper extremity motor impairment.
