Combined brain stimulation for recovery after recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining two kinds of gentle brain stimulation can help people recover better after a recent stroke. It's for people who had a clot-caused stroke in the upper part of the brain and still have some weakness on one side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You're 18 years or older.
- You had an ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) 1 week to 1 month ago.
- You have weakness on one side, but can still move that side a little.
- Your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate) are stable and you're ready for rehab.
- You don't have a pacemaker, brain metal implants, or a history of seizures.

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 study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
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 looks at whether brain stimulation and brain scans can help measure recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand who benefits from non-invasive brain stimulation by using brain “signal” markers.
