Brain stimulation for arm and leg weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (repeated magnetic pulses) to help improve muscle strength after a stroke. It may help you regain movement in your weakened arm or leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 1 month ago
- You have weakness in your arm or leg muscles (strength less than full)
- You do not have a history of epilepsy or seizures
- You do not have other brain or nervous system diseases (besides the stroke)
- You do not have an implanted medicine pump or an implant in your inner ear

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain can improve movement in people with weakness after a stroke. It may help if your stroke happened more than 2 weeks ago and you can safely receive the magnetic treatment.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
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 study tests whether using a brain-mapping tool to guide magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to help people with lasting weakness in one arm during the early recovery phase.
This study tests a new therapy that combines brain stimulation with hand exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some difficulty using your arm or hand.
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.
