rTMS for Post-stroke Fatigue
March 13, 2024 updated by: VA Office of Research and Development
Neuromodulation for Rehabilitation of Post-Stroke Fatigue: An rTMS Pilot Study.
This experimental trial is investigating the use of magnetic stimulation of the brain as a possible treatment for people with post-stroke fatigue.
Fatigue is a common condition after a stroke and can negatively impact an individual's ability to perform desired social and physical activities.
Magnetic stimulation of the brain has been shown to improve signs and symptoms of related psychological (e.g., depression) conditions.
Participants in this trial will receive a type of magnetic stimulation called repetitive magnetic stimulation, or rTMS.
The investigators will measure feelings of fatigue, and other clinical characteristics related to mood and cognition, before and after participants receive rTMS.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score
Time Frame: Change from baseline FSS score to 7 days after last treatment
|
The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a patient reported outcome measure assessing perceived influence of fatigue over the past week.
The scale consists of nine questions measured on a 7-point Likert scale (1-7).
The FSS' range of scores is from 9 (min) to 63 (max) with lower numbers representing lower/less impact of fatigue.

Change from baseline FSS score to 7 days after last treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) score
Time Frame: Change from baseline MFIS score to 7 Days after last treatment
|
The Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) is a Patient reported outcome assessing the impact of fatigue over the past four weeks.
The questionnaire is comprised of 21 questions covering three domains (physical, cognitive, and psychosocial subscales).
The assessment is graded on a 5 point Likert scale (0-4).
The MFIS' range of scores is from 0-84 with higher scores indicating greater impact/worse fatigue.
The range of scores for the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial subscales are 0-36, 0-40, and 0-8 respectively.
Greater scores indicate greater/worse impact of fatigue.
|
Change from baseline MFIS score to 7 Days after last treatment
|
Change in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score
Time Frame: Change from baseline FSS score to 3 months after last treatment
