Quantitative and Repetitive TMS in ALS - Recruiting for Stage 2 (NCT05983211)
A Biomarker-Directed Neuromodulation Trial Using Quantitative and Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (The QuARTS-ALS Trial)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Stage 1 \[Enrolment closed\]: The goal of this open-label pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of accelerated, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) in patients with ALS. Stage 2 \[CURRENTLY ENROLLING\]: The goal of this open-label pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and target engagement of accelerated, high dose cTBS using TMS in patients with ALS.
