Brain stimulation plus memory practice to improve stroke arm recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combined therapy—MyoCI plus memory “reactivation”—can improve arm movement recovery after stroke. It’s meant for people with ongoing arm weakness at least 6 months after their first stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 21 or older
- Your first stroke happened at least 6 months ago, and it left you with arm weakness (hemiparesis) that affects arm movement
- You have moderate to severe arm movement problems and can still move your shoulder and elbow using your own effort (voluntary activation)
- You can follow the therapy instructions and understand commands in English
- Your vision can fully see the screen during the task (no major visual field loss that blocks viewing)
- You haven’t had certain recent treatments or conflicting studies for the affected arm (within 6 weeks), and you haven’t had spasticity treatments (meds or Botox) within 3 months

This trial tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with physical therapy to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It's for individuals who have some movement but could still improve, at least a year after their stroke.
This study tests a new therapy that combines brain stimulation with hand exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some difficulty using your arm or hand.
