Brain state test for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether we can use brain scans to predict when your brain is ready to move your weak arm after a stroke. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have weakness in one arm or hand that started after a stroke.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago.
- You do not have any other brain disease or injury.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, or a seizure history in the last year.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your brain must still be able to send signals to your affected arm muscle.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called PCMS to see if it can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It uses magnetic pulses to boost the brain's ability to control your arm.
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 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 way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
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 study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
