This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a treatment called cTBS (continuous theta-burst stimulation), which is a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation—a non-invasive way to stimulate the brain using magnetic pulses. The study wants to see if this treatment, given after you receive emergency endovascular treatment for an acute stroke, can help improve your recovery and reduce disability.
After emergency stroke treatment, many patients still experience significant disability and limited recovery. This trial exists to find out whether this brain stimulation technique can enhance the brain's natural healing process and help patients regain more function and independence.

If you qualify and are randomized, you will receive either real or sham (fake) brain stimulation sessions along with your usual medical care after your endovascular stroke treatment. You will not know which group you are in. The study team will monitor your recovery with follow-up visits and assessments to measure how well you are improving. Your participation will help researchers understand whether this brain stimulation technique can improve outcomes for stroke patients.
