Brain stimulation trial for movement recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of two types of brain stimulation (tDCS and rTMS) can help improve motor function in people with atresia syndrome. It is designed for those who are partially responsive and can communicate through eye movements or other methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have classic or incomplete atresia syndrome, with symptoms starting between 6 weeks and 1 year ago.
- You are alert and can communicate reliably (for example, by using eye movements).
- You are not taking medications that affect nerve or muscle function (like sedatives or certain calcium channel blockers), or you have stopped them for at least a week.
- You do not have any metal implants or devices in your body (like a pacemaker) that would prevent brain stimulation.
- You have not taken part in another brain stimulation study in the past month.

This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
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 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 whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people recover from an ischemic stroke. It focuses on patients who are in the early stages of recovery and have weakness on only one side of the body.
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.
