Brain training with TMS and fNIRS for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a brain-computer interface (TMS and fNIRS) to help people with chronic stroke regain arm function. It tests if combining brain stimulation with real-time brain activity feedback can improve movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had an ischemic stroke (clot-caused) in the subcortical area at least 6 months ago
- Age between 18 and 80 years old
- Some control of your arm and hand (mild to moderate impairment)
- Able to read and understand Chinese
- No metal implants or other reasons that make TMS unsafe
- No memory or thinking problems (like dementia)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
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.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
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 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.
