Brain, Spinal Cord and Nerves

The purpose of this study is to see how a treatment called TMS can help people move their arms better. TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation. It uses magnets to help the brain work in a different way. TMS is already approved to help people with depression, and doctors have also looked at how it helps people after a stroke. But scientists still need to learn the best way to use it to help people recover.
