Personalized brain stimulation to improve arm function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that caused weakness on one side, and it happened between 7 days and 3 months ago.
- You are currently in the hospital for your stroke.
- Your arm movement is limited (score of 42 or less on a standard arm function test).
- You can understand and follow simple instructions.
- You were able to do daily activities on your own before the stroke.
- You are 19 years old or older and willing to join the study.

This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
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.
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 using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help 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 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.
