Brain stimulation after stroke to help arm movement
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’ve had a stroke affecting one side of your body (either bleeding or blocked blood vessel)
- Your stroke happened within the last 3 months
- Your arm muscle strength is limited but you can sit up for more than 15 minutes
- You have no history of stroke, seizures, dementia, Parkinson’s, or other major nerve-degenerating diseases
- You can follow the treatment instructions and cooperate with sessions
- You are not pregnant and do not have depression

This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
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 a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
This trial tests whether using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help recovery.
