Brain-computer interface for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that was caused by a blocked blood vessel or a bleed in the brain (shown on a scan).
- It has been at least 6 months since your stroke.
- You have moderate to severe weakness on one side of your body, especially in your arm and hand.
- You can move your elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand fully when someone else moves them for you.
- You are able to follow instructions and do simple tasks.
- You do not have other brain conditions like Parkinson's, epilepsy, or dementia, and you have not had more than one stroke.

This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
This trial tests a brain implant that may help you move your arm better after a stroke. It focuses on people with moderate to severe arm weakness who still have some movement in their elbow or fingers.
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 a new brain-computer system that helps people recovering from a stroke in the left side of the brain. It uses your thoughts to move a device, which may help improve arm and hand movement.
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.
