Recovery From Post-Stroke Aphasia With rTMS Targeting Left or Right Anterior Temporal Lobe (NCT07608588)
Recovery From Post-Stroke Aphasia With rTMS Targeting the Anterior Temporal Lobe: Interhemispheric Activation Changes and Lesion-Connectome-Based Predictive Outcomes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This project aims to tailor repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) target to the clinical profile of post-stroke aphasia, specifically focusing on lexicosemantic impairments, to enhance recovery. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) will provide critical insights into the effects of facilitatory versus inhibitory stimulation on interhemispheric balance. Additionally, this study will generate new data on how lesion localization and brain connectivity influence individual responses to rTMS, explaining variability in treatment efficacy.
