Understanding brain changes after stroke with advanced MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultra-powerful MRI to see how the brain reorganizes after a stroke. It may help explain why some people recover arm movement and guide future therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a single ischemic stroke (clot-caused) at least 6 months ago
- You still have trouble moving your arm or hand on one side because of the stroke
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have no significant memory or thinking problems
- You can safely have an MRI (no metal implants or devices inside you)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) combined with EEG to understand how the brain controls movement speed after a stroke. It compares healthy volunteers to stroke survivors whose movement has slowed due to network problems, not direct damage to key brain regions.
This study tries to predict how well your arm movement may improve after a stroke. It uses brain and/or nerve testing (like MRI and TMS) and could help doctors plan the best rehabilitation for you.
This study looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke. It uses brain scans to see if early changes can predict how much arm function you might recover, which could help guide rehabilitation.
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
This study uses brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look at changes in the brain after a stroke. It may help researchers better understand what happens in the brain over time and improve future care.
