Repetitive TMS for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) – a non-invasive brain stimulation – to help people recover after a stroke. It's for those who have had a stroke at least a month ago and still have some muscle weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- It has been at least 1 month since your stroke.
- You have muscle weakness (manual muscle strength less than 5).
- You do not have epilepsy or a history of seizures.
- You do not have other diseases of the brain or spinal cord.
- You do not have an electric medication pump or an inner ear implant.

This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
This trial tests whether a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation, given with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand movement after a recent ischemic stroke. It compares three different approaches to see which works best.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
This trial tests whether using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help recovery.
This trial tests if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
