Efficacy of Trans-spinal Magnetic Stimulation on Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Patients

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Stroke Sequelae, Gait Disorders, Neurologic, Stroke

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if trans-spinal magnetic stimulation works to treat gait disorders in chronic stroke adults. It will also learn about the safety of trans-spinal magnetic stimulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does trans-spinal magnetic stimulation enhance chronic stroke participants gait and functional mobility? Does the technique cause any side effects? Researchers will compare trans-spinal magnetic stimulation to a sham (a look-alike stimulation with no real effect) to see if trans-spinal magnetic stimulation works to treat gait disorders and improve functional mobility. Participants will: Receive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation with treadmill training or a sham stimulation with treadmill training every day for 2 weeks.
