Electromagnetic Brain Therapy Shows Promise in Reducing Stroke Disability

New electromagnetic brain therapy combined with physical therapy shows 22% improvement in stroke recovery. Preliminary study finds portable treatment reduces disability in survivors.

This research matters because stroke affects millions globally, often leaving survivors with significant disabilities that impact daily life and independence. Current rehabilitation options have limitations, and many patients never fully recover their pre-stroke capabilities. The potential for a portable, home-based therapy that significantly improves functional recovery could revolutionize stroke rehabilitation, making effective treatment more accessible and potentially reducing long-term healthcare costs. Given that stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, any advancement that improves recovery outcomes has profound implications for patients, families, and healthcare systems. The therapy's focus on restoring normal brain network organization addresses a fundamental aspect of stroke damage that current treatments often cannot effectively target.
