High-frequency rTMS on the Cerebellar to Improve Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment (HOPE)

March 12, 2024 updated by: Zi-Xiao Li, Beijing Tiantan Hospital

High-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on the Cerebellar Hemisphere to Improve Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment

The objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the cerebellum for individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment. Participants will undergo rTMS in the cerebellar hemisphere opposite the lesion site, once daily for a total of five days.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the cerebellum for individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment. The trial aims to answer two main questions: (1) What is the effectiveness of high-frequency rTMS in improving post-stroke cognitive impairment? (2) Is high-frequency rTMS in the cerebellum safe for individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment? Participants will undergo 5Hz rTMS in the cerebellar opposite the lesion site, once daily for a total of five days. The control group will receive sham rTMS with the same parameters and positions. By comparing the effectiveness of rTMS for post-stroke cognitive impairment between the two groups, researchers will assess the potential benefits of rTMS.
