Brain recovery study for chronic stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new model to understand how the brain recovers after a stroke. It may help patients who had a first-time stroke at least three months ago and still have trouble moving their arms or legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old
- It has been at least 3 months since your first stroke
- The stroke was caused by a blood clot (ischemic), not bleeding
- You still have some difficulty moving your arm or leg because of the stroke
- You can extend your fingers or wrist at least a little bit (10 degrees for fingers, 20 degrees for wrist)
- You do not have major memory or thinking problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke. It uses brain scans to see if early changes can predict how much arm function you might recover, which could help guide rehabilitation.
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.
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.
This study looks at how people recover after a stroke. Researchers will check your thinking, memory, and daily function over a year to learn more about recovery patterns and help design better 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.
