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 study tests whether giving a mild brain stimulation treatment (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) at different times during daily rehabilitation helps people recover arm and hand movement better after a recent stroke. It is a non-invasive treatment that could boost the effects of your therapy.
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 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.
