Brain stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help improve brain function and thinking skills in people recovering from a stroke. It focuses on a specific brain circuit and may help with cognitive recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke either less than 6 months ago or more than 6 months ago.
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- Your stroke affected the middle cerebral artery area of your brain.
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate (not too mild, not too severe) based on standard scoring.
- You have had a CT or MRI scan of your brain.
- You are right-handed.

This study uses magnetic pulses to stimulate a part of the brain that helps with recognizing faces, which can be affected after a stroke. It aims to learn more about how the brain processes facial expressions, which may help improve social interactions.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) to see if it can help with depression and other negative emotions after a stroke. It aims to improve mood and emotional recovery.
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help improve movement and function after damage to the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls coordination). If you have had a cerebellar stroke or similar condition, this treatment might help you recover better.
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 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 tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
