Wearable magnetic device for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device that uses magnetic fields to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago and have some trouble using their affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke affected only one side of the brain or brainstem, confirmed by a scan.
- Your stroke happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
- You have some difficulty moving your arm on the affected side.
- You do not have other serious brain conditions or a history of epilepsy.
- You do not have metal implants or medical devices like a pacemaker in your body.

This trial tests a device that uses a special magnetic field to help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve arm movement. It's for those with moderate arm weakness who are willing to do exercises during sessions.
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.
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 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 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 study tests a new, personalized magnetic brain stimulation to help stroke survivors recover thinking and memory skills. It may be a good fit for people who have had their first stroke and have cognitive problems.
