Brain training rehab for arm recovery after a recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke on one side (ischemic or bleeding), and it was within the last 3 weeks (not more than 3 weeks ago).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your main problem is arm/hand weakness after stroke, and early testing suggests your recovery is likely incomplete (specific score: Shoulder Abduction Finger Extension below 5 in the first 7 days).
- You can understand the study information well enough to consent (or a family member can consent if you can understand but cannot sign because of arm/motor issues).
- You should not have multiple strokes, and the stroke should be at least 1 week old before starting (not less than 1 week).
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no pacemaker/defibrillator, certain implants/clips, cochlear implants, recent stents/clips, metal in the eye/brain, or severe claustrophobia).

This trial tests a brain-based training method (neurofeedback) to help improve hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 3 months and still have weakness on one side.
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) using near-infrared light can help stroke survivors improve hand and arm movement. You'll receive a type of brain training called neurofeedback during the study.
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
