About this study
This trial is testing if combining aerobic exercise (AEx) with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people who have had a stroke and depression improve their walking ability. The goal is to see if this combination treatment is more effective than either treatment alone in reducing depressive symptoms and improving recovery after stroke.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
