Brain stimulation for recent stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a new stroke that started within the last 24 hours.
- You are not eligible for or cannot have a procedure to remove the clot (thrombectomy).
- You can have an MRI, meaning you don't have any metal implants, pacemakers, or other devices that would interfere.
- You have no major bleeding risk, recent head injury, or history of seizures.
- You are not pregnant, and you don't have a serious infection or other life-threatening illness.

This trial tests if combining two kinds of gentle brain stimulation can help people recover better after a recent stroke. It's for people who had a clot-caused stroke in the upper part of the brain and still have some weakness on one side.
This study tests whether giving a mild brain stimulation treatment (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) at different times during daily rehabilitation helps people recover arm and hand movement better after a recent stroke. It is a non-invasive treatment that could boost the effects of your therapy.
This study looks at whether brain stimulation and brain scans can help measure recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand who benefits from non-invasive brain stimulation by using brain “signal” markers.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps people who have trouble speaking after a recent stroke. It is done in the first few days after the stroke, alongside regular care.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
