Magnetic brain stimulation plus rehab for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a treatment that uses magnetic pulses on the head (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) combined with physical therapy can help improve movement and daily activities after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke and have weakness on one side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- This is your first stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke)
- You have weakness on one side of your body (hemiparesis)
- Your stroke happened at least a few weeks ago, but any time is allowed
- You are able to follow simple instructions and have no metal implants or pacemaker

This trial tests whether carefully targeted, noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain can improve arm and overall recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help by supporting brain relearning during the first weeks after stroke.
This trial tests whether a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation, given with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand movement after a recent ischemic stroke. It compares three different approaches to see which works best.
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 whether combining magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) with physical therapy can improve leg strength, balance, and quality of life in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to see if this combination helps restore movement and function in the affected leg.
This study tests a new, personalized magnetic brain stimulation to help stroke survivors recover thinking and memory skills. It may be a good fit for people who have had their first stroke and have cognitive problems.
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.
