Evaluating Trans-spinal Magnetic Stimulation with Treadmill Training to Improve Walking and Mobility in Adults with Chronic Stroke

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying whether trans-spinal magnetic stimulation can improve walking ability and functional mobility in adults who have chronic stroke-related gait disorders. The trial also aims to understand the safety of this stimulation technique by comparing it to a sham procedure that mimics the stimulation sounds but has no real effect. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either active trans-spinal magnetic stimulation or sham stimulation, both combined with treadmill training. This treatment is given daily for two weeks. The active stimulation works by activating spinal roots and increasing brain activity related to movement. During the study, participants will be evaluated at the start, after two weeks of treatment, and again 30 days later. Researchers will assess functional mobility, independence, lower limb motor function, balance, spasticity, sensory function, and participants perceptions of any changes. The entire study participation lasts at least 30 days after treatment completion to monitor outcomes and safety.
