Personalized brain stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that causes weakness on one side of your body, and it has been more than 3 months since that stroke.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your arm and hand muscles are not too tight (spasticity) and you can move your shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand through a functional range of motion.
- You are able to follow simple two-step instructions.
- You do not have any implants in your head, a pacemaker, a history of seizures, or serious uncontrolled medical problems.

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 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 tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
This study tests a new way to apply brain stimulation called TMS while watching your brain activity in real time, tailored to your personal brain state. It is for people who still have arm or hand weakness at least 6 months after a stroke.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help improve hand function after stroke. Researchers believe stimulating two areas of the brain may help weakened hands recover better movement and strength.
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.
