Personalized brain stimulation with arm exercises for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to combine brain stimulation with guided hand and arm exercises to help improve movement after a stroke. The treatment is personalized to your brain activity and may help you regain more use of your affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were first diagnosed with a stroke (confirmed by doctor, CT, or MRI).
- Your vital signs are stable, and you have some weakness or loss of function in your arm or hand.
- A special nerve test (MEP) shows no response in certain hand muscles on the stroke-affected side.
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- Your thinking and memory are mostly okay (MMSE score 20 or higher).
- You don't have serious health problems like pneumonia, heart failure, or infections.
- You have no metal in your brain, no pacemaker, not pregnant, and no recent seizures.

This trial tests if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
This study tests a new way to apply brain stimulation called TMS while watching your brain activity in real time, tailored to your personal brain state. It is for people who still have arm or hand weakness at least 6 months after a stroke.
This trial tests whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke within the past 3 months. It is designed for patients with moderate to severe arm weakness who are still in the hospital.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called PCMS to see if it can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It uses magnetic pulses to boost the brain's ability to control your arm.
This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
