Brain stimulation therapy after stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You had a stroke from a clot in a large artery in the front of your brain (internal carotid or middle cerebral artery), confirmed by a scan.
- You had a procedure to remove the clot within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
- After the procedure, blood flow was mostly restored (eTICI score 2B or better).
- One day after the procedure, you still have moderate to severe stroke symptoms (NIHSS score 5-25) and at least one arm or leg is notably weak.
- You do not have epilepsy, a pacemaker, or other metal/electronic implants that could be affected by magnetic stimulation.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation to see if it can improve arm and leg function in people who recently had a stroke. It may help with movement recovery in the first few months after stroke.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) to see if it can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The stimulation is guided by brain imaging to target the right areas.
This trial tests if combining two kinds of gentle brain stimulation can help people recover better after a recent stroke. It's for people who had a clot-caused stroke in the upper part of the brain and still have some weakness on one side.
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
This study tests whether brain stimulation (called TMS, a non-invasive magnetic pulse) can help predict how well you recover after a stroke. By measuring the brain's response, doctors hope to personalize rehabilitation. If you've had a recent first stroke, you might be eligible to participate.
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.
