Trans-spinal magnetic stimulation for improving mobility in chronic stroke patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of trans-spinal magnetic stimulation in enhancing gait and functional mobility in adults who have experienced chronic stroke. Participants will undergo either active trans-spinal magnetic stimulation combined with treadmill training or a sham stimulation for a duration of two weeks. The study will assess both the effectiveness of the treatment and any potential side effects associated with the intervention. By comparing the outcomes of the two groups, researchers hope to determine the true impact of this innovative approach on stroke recovery.
