Brain rhythm training for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago.
- You have weakness on one side of your body, especially in your arm or hand.
- You are able to think clearly, follow instructions, and speak English.
- You do not have any metal in your head, a recent seizure, or are pregnant.
- You can make a fist with your weaker hand.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
This study tests a new therapy that combines brain stimulation with hand exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some difficulty using your arm or hand.
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 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 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 whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
