Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a first stroke and are in early or later rehab stage
- Arm weakness rated between 0 and 3 on a 6-point scale
- Able to see well enough to read large print (vision at least 0.2 on a standard chart)
- Motivated to take part in rehabilitation
- No other major neurological condition like Parkinson's or brain injury
- Not taking part in other experimental treatments

This study looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain controls arm movement in people who have had a stroke. It aims to help develop better rehabilitation therapies for chronic arm weakness.
This trial uses a brain-computer interface (TMS and fNIRS) to help people with chronic stroke regain arm function. It tests if combining brain stimulation with real-time brain activity feedback can improve movement.
This study tests a rehabilitation approach to help people recover arm movement after an ischemic or bleeding stroke. You may be able to join if you’re currently an inpatient in the stroke neurology unit and have arm weakness but are medically stable and able to follow simple instructions.
This study uses ultra-powerful MRI to see how the brain reorganizes after a stroke. It may help explain why some people recover arm movement and guide future therapies.
