Brain stimulation plus rehab to improve thinking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your stroke happened within the last 4 weeks
- You have thinking or cognitive problems that are believed to be from the stroke
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You can understand the study and give consent, and you can follow simple instructions

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
This trial tests if combining two kinds of gentle brain stimulation can help people recover better after a recent stroke. It's for people who had a clot-caused stroke in the upper part of the brain and still have some weakness on one side.
This trial tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. You can do the sessions from home with internet access.
This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are still in the early recovery phase (between 10 days and 5 months after their stroke) and have some ongoing cognitive problems.
This trial tests whether combining two types of safe brain stimulation—tDCS and TMS—can help improve thinking abilities and movement control in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients within 1–6 months of their first stroke.
