Post stroke fatigue investigation using transcranial magnetic stimulation and functional magnetic resonance imaging
Testing the idea that fatigue occurring after stroke is due to changes in the brain regions controlling the muscles using non-invasive brain stimulation and brain imaging techniques in 142 stroke patients, half of who will be those who complain of fatigue.
New review of research into brain stimulation for recovery after stroke
Wednesday 13 April 2016
Co-funded by the Stroke Association, a new review of the research into NIBS (non-invasive brain stimulation) for the recovery of leg movement and walking suggests that although it can bring about changes in leg function, the design of existing studies are very different, making it difficult to determine its effectiveness.
New brain stimulation study into post-stroke fatigue
Monday 3 November 2014
One of our Postdoctoral Fellows, Dr Anna Kuppuswamy, has published a paper today in the journal Brain. Her research looks at what is happening in the brains of people who experience fatigue because of a stroke.

Friday 18 August 2017
Published online first in the journal Neurology, a new study investigates the effectiveness of tools used to predict recovery of patients after stroke.
New research combining electrical stimulation and physiotherapy to help with mobility
Friday 16 May 2014
The Stroke Association funded a feasibility study into improving the treatment of a condition called 'drop foot', which was recently published in the medical journal, Disability & Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology.
What does coronavirus mean for stroke care and treatment? A look at the current evidence
Thursday 7 May 2020
There is evidence that during the coronavirus pandemic fewer people have been recorded to have transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke. That’s why the Stroke Association is urging people to continue to act fast and call 999 if they experience signs of stroke.
