Brain stimulation study for hand grip and vision coordination
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses a technique called closed-loop rTMS-EEG, which combines brain stimulation with brain-wave monitoring, to study how the brain controls hand grip based on visual cues. It may help researchers understand movement and vision integration.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be right-handed (your dominant hand is your right hand).
- You must be able to squeeze a hand grip with at least a little force and follow visual instructions on a screen to do repeated squeezes.
- You cannot have any metal implants, pacemakers, or claustrophobia (fear of small spaces) that would prevent an MRI scan.
- You cannot have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or take certain medications that lower seizure risk.
- You cannot have a neurological or psychiatric condition that makes it hard to understand the study or give consent.

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 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 combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
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 study tests if a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how well you learn a hand movement task. You will practice a motor task while receiving brief magnetic pulses to your scalp.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
