Brain stimulation after stroke to track recovery signals
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether brain stimulation and brain scans can help measure recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand who benefits from non-invasive brain stimulation by using brain “signal” markers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 and had a first-ever ischemic stroke (caused by a blocked blood vessel).
- Your stroke was more than 3 months ago (early recovery) or more than 6 months ago (chronic recovery).
- You still have ongoing weakness or movement problems in one arm (upper limb).
- Your stroke was in the upper part of the brain (supratentorial area).
- You can give written consent to join the study.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people recover from an ischemic stroke. It focuses on patients who are in the early stages of recovery and have weakness on only one side of the body.
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 trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
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 whether applying a mild electric current (tDCS) to the brain at different times during stroke rehab can improve arm movement. It is for people who have had a recent stroke and have some weakness in one arm or hand.
