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 trial combines scalp acupuncture with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a noninvasive brain stimulation) to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke 1–6 months ago. It studies how these treatments affect brain networks.
This trial tests whether using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help recovery.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
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 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.
This trial tests whether a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation, given with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand movement after a recent ischemic stroke. It compares three different approaches to see which works best.
