Magnetic stimulation after clot removal for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) after clot-removal surgery can help people recover better from a stroke. It is for people who had a moderate-to-severe stroke in the front part of the brain and had the clot removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke was caused by a blockage in the front part of the brain (anterior circulation).
- You had a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) within 24 hours of the stroke.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, like a pacemaker or cochlear implant.
- You do not have epilepsy, a brain tumor, or another severe brain condition.

This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
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.
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.
