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 trial tests whether carefully targeted, noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain can improve arm and overall recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help by supporting brain relearning during the first weeks after stroke.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) guided by special brain imaging to help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The stimulation is applied to the scalp and may help your brain rewire itself to recover function.
This study tests a new brain stimulation technique called cTBS (combined transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The treatment is guided by mapping the injured area of your brain to target the right spot for stimulation.
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.
