Brain stimulation and face recognition after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a gentle brain stimulation technique (TMS) to explore how the cerebellum helps you recognize facial expressions after a stroke. It may help understand recovery of social skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a stroke within the last 6 months, or more than 6 months ago.
- Your stroke affected a specific part of the brain called the middle cerebral artery.
- You are at least 18 and under 85 years old.
- You are right-handed.
- You do not have epilepsy, depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia.

This study tests a new brain stimulation treatment (called RECT) for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to improve brain function by targeting a specific brain circuit. The study involves about 2 months of stimulation sessions.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called iTBS can help improve mood problems after a stroke by targeting different brain areas.
This trial combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to apply brain stimulation called TMS while watching your brain activity in real time, tailored to your personal brain state. It is for people who still have arm or hand weakness at least 6 months after a stroke.
