Stroke rehab study using brain stimulation and movement training
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old and healthy (no physical or brain conditions), or between 45 and 90 years old and healthy, or between 40 and 90 years old and had a right-side stroke more than 3 months ago.
- If you had a stroke, you have some weakness on your left side but can still move your arm with some effort.
- You can walk at least 10 meters with or without a walker or cane.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, or certain medical conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure or epilepsy.
- You are not pregnant and do not have skin problems where electrodes would be placed.

This study compares two types of therapy for people who have had a stroke and have difficulty paying attention to one side of their body or surroundings. It tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to prism training helps improve this condition more than prism training alone.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This pilot study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and physical therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients regain better control and strength in their affected arm.
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation technique can help people who have “spatial neglect,” a common problem after stroke where part of space is ignored. It may improve attention and awareness during thinking and daily activities by targeting brain areas involved in attention.
This study tests if using virtual reality along with mild brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are at least three months past their stroke and have moderate arm weakness.
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
