Brain stimulation with movement training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a first stroke (confirmed by a brain scan) and now have some trouble moving your arm or hand.
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- Your thinking and memory are fairly good (score of 20 or higher on a mental status test).
- You do not have serious health problems like pneumonia, heart failure, or infection, and no metal in your brain, pacemaker, pregnancy, or recent seizures.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests whether combining scalp acupuncture with a magnetic brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) can help improve arm and hand movement in people recovering from a recent stroke. They will also look at how these treatments affect the brain's networks.
This study tests a new therapy that combines brain stimulation with hand exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some difficulty using your arm or hand.
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 whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
This study tests whether using a brain-mapping tool to guide magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to help people with lasting weakness in one arm during the early recovery phase.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
