Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a stroke, many people struggle with depression and walking difficulties. This trial is testing whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—works better at treating depression when combined with aerobic exercise on a treadmill. Researchers want to see if doing both treatments together helps more than doing either one alone.
Depression is common after stroke and can slow recovery, but standard treatments don't always work well. This trial explores whether pairing this brain stimulation approach with exercise might create a better benefit for both mood and physical function.

You would visit the study site 3 times per week for 12 weeks, with each visit on a different day. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you would receive brain stimulation therapy, do aerobic exercise on a treadmill, or both. Researchers would measure your mood and walking ability every 2 weeks during treatment, and again 12 and 24 weeks after the 12-week treatment ends. You'll also complete surveys about your quality of life and wear a device to track your daily steps.
