Magnetic therapy for recent ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a magnetic field can help clear blocked brain arteries in people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke from a blocked blood vessel) within the last 24 hours. The treatment is given through a special device that uses magnets to help dissolve or remove the blockage, potentially restoring blood flow and improving recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke within the last 24 hours
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a blocked artery in the middle, front, or back of your brain that can be seen on a scan
- You are able to give your own consent
- You do not have bleeding in the brain, major disability before the stroke, or certain medical devices or conditions that would make the treatment unsafe

This study tests a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment tailored to each person, to help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people within 10 weeks of their first stroke who have some cognitive difficulties.
This trial tests if a treatment that uses magnetic pulses on the head (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) combined with physical therapy can help improve movement and daily activities after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke and have weakness on one side.
This trial tests a magnetic pulse therapy (called cTBS) to help people recover arm and leg movement after a recent stroke. Doctors use brain imaging to guide the treatment exactly where it might help most.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain and reopening a blocked major artery can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke and may benefit from this combination treatment.
This study tests a new magnetic device applied to the head to help improve arm function after a stroke. You will use the device while doing exercises, and a caregiver will support you with a mobile app and video calls.
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
