Brain stimulation intensity for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either from a blocked or bleeding blood vessel) at least 6 months ago, and it has caused moderate to severe weakness or movement problems in one arm.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your arm function is limited but not completely paralyzed, such as being able to move your arm a little but not use it normally.
- You do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or other conditions that would make brain stimulation or MRI unsafe.
- You do not have other neurological diseases (besides stroke), severe memory or thinking problems, or very stiff arm muscles.

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 study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
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 tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
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.
