Brain stimulation and computer training for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago, and it was confirmed by an MRI or CT scan.
- You have moderate to severe weakness in one arm or hand.
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You can understand and follow instructions for brain-computer interface training.
- You have not had a seizure in the past, and you do not have metal in your body or other reasons that would make MRI or brain stimulation unsafe.

This study combines magnetic brain stimulation with physical therapy to help improve movement, balance, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side for at least 6 months. It may help you regain more function in your affected arm or leg.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with a brain-computer interface could help you regain arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who have plateaued in their recovery and have some remaining movement but still struggle with daily tasks.
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 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 study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
