Magnetic field therapy for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new magnetic device applied to the head to help improve arm function after a stroke. You will use the device while doing exercises, and a caregiver will support you with a mobile app and video calls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke (blocked blood vessel in the brain) confirmed by a scan.
- Your stroke happened 4 to 21 days ago.
- Your arm is moderately to severely affected (FMA-UE score 10–45).
- You can sit for 40 minutes and follow 3-step commands like 'take the paper, fold it, and hand it back.'
- You have a caregiver to help with a mobile app and exercise program.

This trial tests if a treatment that uses magnetic pulses on the head (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) combined with physical therapy can help improve movement and daily activities after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke and have weakness on one side.
This trial tests a device called the 'Q Therapeutic System' that uses a special electromagnetic field to help people with chronic stroke recover arm and hand function. The treatment is given during therapy sessions, and the study aims to see if it's safe and effective in improving movement.
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This study tests whether combining scalp acupuncture with a magnetic brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) can help improve arm and hand movement in people recovering from a recent stroke. They will also look at how these treatments affect the brain's networks.
This trial combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
