tDCS for arm weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke-related arm weakness is on only one side of your body (one “paretic” side).
- You still have meaningful movement problems in the affected arm.
- You are able to understand the study and sign informed consent (and follow instructions).
- Your unaffected (other) arm should not have major muscle tone or nerve/sensation problems.
- You should not have serious issues that block communication or understanding, like severe thinking or mood problems.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
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 study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help improve hand movement after a stroke. It focuses on people who have weakness in one hand due to a first-time stroke.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can help improve hand and arm movement in people who had a stroke more than a year ago. The stimulation targets the parts of the brain that control movement, and the goal is to see if it can boost recovery when combined with standard therapy.
