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 new type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) guided by special brain imaging to help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The stimulation is applied to the scalp and may help your brain rewire itself to recover function.
This study tests a new brain stimulation technique called cTBS (combined transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The treatment is guided by mapping the injured area of your brain to target the right spot for stimulation.
This study uses a safe brain-stimulation test to identify patterns that predict how well stroke patients will recover. By understanding these patterns early, doctors may eventually personalize rehabilitation plans to help patients regain more function.
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 trial is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
