Brain stimulation for post-stroke mood
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called iTBS can help improve mood problems after a stroke by targeting different brain areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- First stroke within the last 6 months (or a later stroke more than 6 months ago)
- Age 18 to 84 years old
- Stroke affected the middle cerebral artery area of the brain
- Stroke caused moderate to moderately severe symptoms (NIHSS score 5-25)
- Some disability from the stroke (mRS score 2 or higher)
- Right-handed
- Able to understand and cooperate with treatment (MMSE score 15 or higher)

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 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.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help improve arm and hand movement after a first ischemic stroke. It may help people who still have moderate to severe weakness months after their stroke.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
This trial tests a new treatment that combines virtual reality with mindfulness therapy and a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to help people with depression after a stroke. It aims to see if this combination can improve mood more effectively than standard approaches.
