Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (from a clot or bleeding in the brain) between 6 months and 5 years ago.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your affected arm has moderate movement difficulty (scored between 22 and 50 on a standard arm test).
- You can move at least 1 block with your affected arm in a box-and-block test in 60 seconds.
- You can sit comfortably for 40 minutes and follow simple instructions like 'fold this paper and hand it back'.
- You have a caregiver available to help you during therapy sessions at home and at the clinic.

This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
This trial tests a device that uses a special magnetic field to help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve arm movement. It's for those with moderate arm weakness who are willing to do exercises during sessions.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a new brain-controlled device that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord to help restore arm and leg movement after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 9 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body, this may help you regain function.
