Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago
- You still have some weakness in one arm or hand (score over 17 on the Fugl-Meyer test)
- You do not have any metal implants in your head or body
- You do not have epilepsy or a history of seizures
- You are not pregnant
- You are not afraid of tight or enclosed spaces (needed for MRI scans)

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.
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.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may improve motor function when combined with rehabilitation.
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 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 looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
