Multifocal Brain Magnetic Stimulation in Chronic Ischemic Stroke

This study uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (magnetic pulses delivered through a specially designed cap worn on the head aimed at specific motor areas of the brain (brain areas responsible for the body's physical movements) to test whether upper-body motor function can be improved. This is a double-blind study where half of participants will receive active transcranial stimulation and the other half of the participants will receive no transcranial magnetic stimulation; all participants will wear the cap. Participants and some members of the research team will not know who received active magnetic brain stimulation.
