tRNS device to improve mirror therapy after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-stimulation device (tRNS) paired with precision mirror therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people with moderate to mild arm weakness regain more control, but you must meet several safety and health criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke started at least 3 months ago and was your first stroke affecting one side
- You are between 35 and 85 years old
- Your arm weakness is in a moderate-to-mild range (so the trial can measure improvement)
- Your affected arm should not have severe stiffness/spasms at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or fingers
- You can follow instructions and do tasks (memory/thinking screen score of 24 or higher)
- You must not have epilepsy, be pregnant, or have a pacemaker/metal/implants in the neck or head
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests if combining robotic therapy with mirror therapy can help improve arm function after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke 3 months to 2 years ago and have some but not full arm movement.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
This trial tests if combining repetitive magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) with two-handed therapy can improve arm function after a first-time stroke. It may help people who have weakness or difficulty using one hand due to a stroke within the past year.
This trial tests if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
This trial combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
This trial tests whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke within the past 3 months. It is designed for patients with moderate to severe arm weakness who are still in the hospital.
