Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the brain can help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be an option if you can still slightly move your fingers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago and your health is stable.
- You had only one stroke (either type or size is okay).
- You can actively bend your fingers (show some finger movement).
- You do not have vision, hearing, or memory problems that would interfere.
- You do not have a pacemaker, metal implants, or need extra oxygen.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain, called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), together with arm rehabilitation can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke over 9 months ago.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can improve arm movement recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke affecting their arm and are at least 3 months past the stroke.
This study tests if a gentle electric current applied to the back of the brain (cerebellum) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. You may qualify if you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some ability to grip with your affected hand.
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 a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
