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.

This study tests a brain-stimulation approach in people with chronic stroke who still have arm weakness. The goal is to see whether changing brain activity can improve recovery and function.
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 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.
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.
