Brain-mapped magnetic stimulation for arm weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a brain-mapping tool to guide magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to help people with lasting weakness in one arm during the early recovery phase.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke, either from a blocked vessel or bleeding in the brain, and it was confirmed on a scan.
- The stroke weakened one arm or hand, so you have significant trouble using it.
- Your stroke happened between 2 weeks and 6 months ago.
- You are between 20 and 85 years old.
- You are medically stable, able to follow instructions, and can give consent (or have a guardian).
- You do not have metal in your head, a pacemaker, a cochlear implant, epilepsy, or a history of seizures.

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 studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
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 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.
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.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain can improve movement in people with weakness after a stroke. It may help if your stroke happened more than 2 weeks ago and you can safely receive the magnetic treatment.
