Personalized brain stimulation and task training for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation technique that is synchronized with arm movement practice to help improve arm function after a stroke. It may be a good fit for people who have some arm weakness but cannot produce a specific brain signal in the affected brain area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- First stroke confirmed by a doctor or brain scan
- Some weakness or movement trouble in one arm or hand, but stable health overall
- Able to follow instructions and score at least 20 on a memory and thinking test
- Age between 20 and 80 years old
- No metal in the head, pacemaker, history of seizures, or pregnancy

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 trial tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and a brain-computer interface that lets you control a device with your thoughts. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some movement in their wrist or fingers but need help improving arm function.
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 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.
This pilot study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and physical therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients regain better control and strength in their affected arm.
