Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation with different stimulation modes ( 1Hz, 10Hz, sham stimulation ) on cerebral autoregulation.

Description

Current studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can change the excitability of nerve cells, improve intracerebral artery blood supply, and even reduce the degree of neurological impairment in patients with ischemic stroke.Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA), refers to a complex process in which small intracranial arteries contract or relax to maintain relatively stable cerebral blood volume when systemic arterial blood pressure changes, which can predict the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke. In this study, we hypothesis that TMS provides neuro-protection by means of improving dCA.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
