Safety, Dose-Finding, and Efficacy of Transcranial Pulse Stimulation for Post-Stroke Neurorehabilitation
NCT07784751 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 9
Last updated 2026-08-25
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dose-response, and preliminary efficacy of transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) for neurorehabilitation in patients with ischemic stroke. Participants will receive TPS at different energy levels in a dose-escalation design. Clinical and neurophysiological assessments will be conducted to evaluate changes in motor function, balance, quality of life, and brain activity.

Required Field
Participants will receive transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) using the NEUROLITH® TPS system (Storz Medical AG, Switzerland). TPS will be administered at the assigned energy level of 0.15, 0.20, or 0.25 mJ/mm², at a frequency of 4 Hz, with 4,000 pulses per session. Treatment will be administered three times per week for 2 weeks, for a total of 6 treatment sessions. Dose escalation will proceed sequentially after safety evaluation of the preceding dose level.
