A Phase 2b Trial of Lesion Network Mapping-Guided cTBS for Motor Recovery After Acute Ischemic Stroke
Lesion Network Mapping-Navigated Continuous Theta-Burst Stimulation for Motor Recovery in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled, Multicentre Phase 2b Trial: MASTRE-2
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This Phase 2b study will evaluate whether lesion network mapping-guided continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) can improve recovery after acute ischemic stroke. The treatment uses each participant's brain imaging to identify individualized stimulation targets related to stroke symptoms. Participants will receive either active cTBS or a sham procedure in addition to standard stroke care. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of this personalized brain stimulation approach and support planning for future confirmatory trials.

- Participation in any other interventional clinical study within 30 days before randomization, or currently enrolled in such a study.
Other illness
- Contraindications to TMS (e.g. cranial metallic foreign bodies, cardiac pacemaker, implanted drug pump, cochlear implant).
- History of epilepsy or seizure, intracranial hypertension, tumor, or other serious neurological disease.
- Evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, including spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Pre-stroke mRS ≥ 2.
- Severe psychiatric disorders or dementia (or other conditions) precluding informed consent or follow-up.
Other
- Midline shift or parenchymal mass effect on cranial CT or other imaging.
