Brain stimulation for stroke recovery study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- This must be your first stroke (either a clot or a bleed) that caused weakness in one arm.
- You need to be able to start the brain stimulation treatment within 21 days of your stroke.
- You cannot have any metal objects in your head or neck (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant).
- You cannot have a history of epilepsy or seizures.

This study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke within the past 3 months. It is designed for patients with moderate to severe arm weakness who are still in the hospital.
This trial tests whether a specific type of brain stimulation, called theta burst stimulation, can help improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke. It looks at how different intensities of the stimulation affect recovery.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
This trial tests whether a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation, given with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand movement after a recent ischemic stroke. It compares three different approaches to see which works best.
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.
