Brain stimulation and BCI for arm movement after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have some weakness in your arm or hand, but you can still straighten your fingers a little bit

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 safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve hand movement in people who have had a stroke and have severe arm weakness. It uses a special device to stimulate the brain and may help with motor recovery.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. The goal is to find the best way to use this treatment to help you regain movement and strength in your affected arm.
