Personalized brain stimulation to improve arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke only on one side of the brain (ischemic or bleeding type)
- Your stroke was within the last 3 months
- Your upper-arm muscle strength is still quite weak (grade 3 or less)
- You are over 20 years old and can sit up for more than 15 minutes
- You do not have certain past brain conditions, such as prior stroke or Parkinson’s/dementia

This trial tests whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke within the past 3 months. It is designed for patients with moderate to severe arm weakness who are still in the hospital.
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 study tests whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
This trial tests if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
This study tests whether using a brain-mapping tool to guide magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to help people with lasting weakness in one arm during the early recovery phase.
This study tests a new way to apply brain stimulation called TMS while watching your brain activity in real time, tailored to your personal brain state. It is for people who still have arm or hand weakness at least 6 months after a stroke.
