Brain connection study for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- This was your first stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic).
- You have weakness in one arm, but not complete paralysis.
- Your stroke happened between 3 and 6 weeks ago.
- You do not have metal implants, epilepsy, or severe health conditions that would make MRI or TMS unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
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 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.
