What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Change of Reaction Time Between Before and After Stimulation in Each Session (MTG, STG, Sham)

    Reaction time for lexical and repetition test were measured before and after the TMS stimulation at each sessions (at session 1, session 2, session 3 over MTG/STG/Sham; MTG: middle temporal gyrus, STG: superior temporal gyrus).

    Response times were measured via the response pad, and spoken responses were recorded via a SV-1 Voice Key apparatus.

    The "reaction time post TMS - reaction time pre TMS" were used for analysis.* Arm/Group Title Arm/Group Description Maximum length (999) Repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) were applied over STG

    Measured: change between before and after the TMS stimulation for each sessions (at session 1, session 2, session 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Repetitive magnetic stimulation to superior temporal gyrus and Repetitive magnetic stimulation to middle temporal gyrus in people with To Healthy Volunteer and Virtual Lesions for Aphasia, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Change of Reaction Time Between Before and After Stimulation in Each Session (MTG, STG, Sham) (time frame: change between before and after the TMS stimulation for each sessions (at session 1, session 2, session 3)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jul 2017.
