A Phase 2b Trial of Lesion Network Mapping-Guided cTBS for Motor Recovery After Acute Ischemic Stroke (MASTRE-2)

16 de agosto de 2026 atualizado por: Zi-Xiao Li, Beijing Tiantan Hospital

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

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.

Descrição detalhada

Acute ischemic stroke can lead to persistent motor impairment despite standard medical treatment and rehabilitation. The early post-stroke period may provide an important window for modulating brain network plasticity and supporting functional recovery. Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), a patterned form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, can modulate cortical excitability over a short stimulation period and may enhance recovery when applied to clinically relevant motor networks.

This Phase 2b study evaluates a personalized neuromodulation approach based on lesion network mapping. For each participant, the acute infarct lesion is identified on clinical brain imaging and mapped to a reference functional connectome to estimate lesion-associated brain networks. Candidate stimulation targets are selected from symptom-relevant cortical network nodes, with consideration of accessibility, safety, and electric-field modeling. Neuronavigation is used to guide coil placement and maintain targeting accuracy during treatment.

Active treatment consists of lesion network mapping-guided cTBS delivered to individualized cortical targets using a figure-8 coil under neuronavigation. Sham stimulation follows the same imaging-based target selection, electric-field modeling, positioning, and procedural workflow, but uses a sham coil designed to mimic the sensory and acoustic features of stimulation without delivering a therapeutic magnetic field. This approach is intended to maintain blinding of participants and outcome assessors while isolating the effect of active stimulation.

The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of individualized lesion network mapping-guided cTBS for recovery after acute ischemic stroke and to inform the design of future confirmatory trials.

Armas e Intervenções

Grupo de Participantes / Braço
Intervenção / Tratamento
Experimental: LNM-navigated cTBS group
Patients receive two daily sessions for 7 consecutive days. Each session uses a figure-8 coil under neuronavigation to deliver 3-pulse bursts at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz (continuous theta burst) for a total of 600 pulses in 40 seconds per target. Targets are individualized via lesion network mapping of the patient's acute infarct, selecting symptom-relevant network nodes. Stimulus intensity is set at 80% of the resting motor threshold.
Individualized treatment targets are defined by outlining lesion areas on each patient's MRI and projecting them onto a normative functional connectivity map to identify symptom-specific connectivity disruptions within sensorimotor regions. Twice-daily treatments, administered over seven consecutive days, employ an "8"-shaped coil guided by neuronavigation for real-time targeting. For each target, a 40-second session delivers 600 pulses at an intensity of 80% of each participant's resting motor threshold (RMT), administered as 3-pulse bursts at 50 Hz, repeated at a theta frequency of 5 Hz.
Comparador Falso: Sham cTBS group
Procedures mimic the active group in coil positioning, timing, navigation, acoustic noise, and session schedule, but use a sham coil that produces no effective magnetic field.
Sham LNM-navigated cTBS follows the identical workflow, including MRI-based lesion mapping, target selection, electric-field modeling, and neuronavigation, but uses a sham figure-8 coil that mimics the sound and sensation of stimulation without generating a significant magnetic field. Participants receive two sham treatment sessions per day for seven consecutive days. Each session follows the same 40-second protocol timing and coil positioning as the active intervention, ensuring that participants and assessors remain blinded while no effective pulses are delivered.
