Brain implant for arm movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke in the part of the brain that controls movement, not a bleeding stroke.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your arm is moderately or severely weak, but you can still move your elbow or fingers a little.
- You are able to understand and follow instructions (score above 24 on a thinking test).
- You can have an MRI and are not pregnant or on blood thinners.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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-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.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
This trial studies whether a specific kind of non-painful brain stimulation (TMS) can improve arm and hand movement. It tests this in healthy volunteers and in people recovering from stroke.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called PCMS to see if it can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It uses magnetic pulses to boost the brain's ability to control your arm.
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.
