Stroke recovery: brain signals and rehab results
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain signals and MRI scans change after a first stroke that affects the arm. It tests whether these signals can help predict how well rehabilitation will work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your first stroke must have affected the middle cerebral artery (a main brain artery).
- The stroke happened 7 to 30 days ago and can be either ischemic (blockage) or hemorrhagic (bleeding).
- You have weakness or paralysis in one arm.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You (or a family member or caregiver) can give permission to join the study.

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 tries to predict how well your arm movement may improve after a stroke. It uses brain and/or nerve testing (like MRI and TMS) and could help doctors plan the best rehabilitation for you.
This study tests whether we can use brain scans to predict when your brain is ready to move your weak arm after a stroke. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain signals.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This study looks at how early brain imaging and careful arm/leg movement tests can help recovery after certain strokes. If you had a stroke affecting the motor pathway, this may help researchers better understand what predicts improvement.
This study tests an intensive 6-week arm training program for people who had a first stroke 3 to 6 months ago and still have arm weakness. The goal is to see how the brain can recover arm function.
