In March 2023, the Dutch Healthcare Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland, ZIN) announced two projects which were awarded under round 7 of the subsidy scheme for Promising care in 2023:
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in paresis due to the cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage;

The research for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (continuous theta burst stimulation), in addition to hand-arm rehabilitation training in adult patients with paresis of one arm due to a first cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage was awarded a subsidy within the framework of the "Subsidy scheme for promising care". The project will start in October 2023 and will last for six years. After the completion of the project, the research results will be submitted to the ZIN around October 2029 for the decision about inclusion in Basic Health Insurance. The publication of the ZIN position on reimbursement under the Basic Insurance Package is scheduled for April 2030.
