Brain stimulation to help leg movement after chronic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago
- You still have some weakness on one side of your body that affects walking (FAC score of 3 or higher)
- You do not have metal implants in your body
- You do not have epilepsy or a history of seizures

- You are not claustrophobic (afraid of enclosed spaces, as MRI scans are involved)
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems

This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain can improve movement in people with weakness after a stroke. It may help if your stroke happened more than 2 weeks ago and you can safely receive the magnetic treatment.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS, tailored to each person, can improve arm and hand movement in people who had their first stroke 1 to 3 months ago. It may help you regain more use of your affected arm.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help improve arm and hand movement after a first ischemic stroke. It may help people who still have moderate to severe weakness months after their stroke.
This trial tests whether a specific type of brain stimulation, called theta burst stimulation, can help improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke. It looks at how different intensities of the stimulation affect recovery.
