Clinical Studies in California
kTMP is a non-invasive brain stimulation device that causes no tactile sensations or side effects. In partnership with University of California, San Francisco and Berkeley, Magnetic Tides is recruiting participants for the following studies.
Research on Motor Recovery in Stroke Patients
UC Berkeley
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley are studying a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called kTMP (kilohertz transcranial magnetic perturbation). This study is testing whether kTMP stimulation during motor tasks can improve motor performance after stroke.
Inclusion criteria
For this study, we are looking for patients who are between the ages of 18 to 80 years old and have motor impairment caused by a stroke. No metal implants/devices in the head.
Study duration
The study intervention will last 3 weeks and includes 8 therapy sessions. All participants will complete motor rehabilitation exercises during the treatment sessions.
Compensation
Participants earn up to $250 for their time and transportation costs.
Stroke Motor Recovery Clinical Trial
UCSF Mission Bay
While recovery from stroke often plateaus within months of the event, Magnetic Tides is working to push past these limits. kTMP therapy can enhance recovery of hand and arm function for chronic stroke patients, even after years without improvement. Prof. Ganguly, MD, a world-leading expert in neurology, leads this randomized-controlled trial at UCSF to test the effectiveness of kTMP therapy in a large sample of patients.
Inclusion criteria
For this study, we are looking for patients who are between the ages of 18 to 80 years old and have motor impairment caused by a stroke. No metal implants/devices in the head.
Study duration
The study intervention will last 6 weeks and includes two baseline sessions, followed by assessment only follow-up visits at 1-month and 3-months. All participants will complete motor rehabilitation exercises during the treatment sessions.
Compensation
Participants earn up to $1990 for their time and transportation costs.
Depression Feasibility Study
UCSF Mission Bay
One of the main symptoms of depression is anhedonia, which is the inability to feel pleasure from things you normally enjoy. In this study, we are investigating how kTMP can improve this symptom within a week.
Ataxia Feasibility Study
UC Berkeley
If you have experienced a stroke or have a degenerative disorder affecting your cerebellum, we invite you to participate in our upcoming study. We are investigating whether our new non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) device, called kTMP, can help you regain compromised balance and gait function. Our single case study shows very promising result.
