Brain stimulation for better arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle form of brain stimulation to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It looks at whether this approach can aid recovery in both recent and long-standing stroke survivors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You have had a stroke (with one-sided weakness) at least 7 days ago
- You do not have metal in your head or a pacemaker
- You do not have a history of seizures or epilepsy
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and will use birth control if needed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can help improve hand and arm movement in people who had a stroke more than a year ago. The stimulation targets the parts of the brain that control movement, and the goal is to see if it can boost recovery when combined with standard therapy.
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 trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
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.
