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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve arm and leg movement after a stroke. You will receive magnetic pulses to specific brain areas, which may help your brain rewire and recover motor function.
This study tests a combination of proteins from stem cells and a safe brain stimulation method to help people recover movement after a stroke. It may improve recovery when started 1 to 6 months after a first stroke.
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 study combines magnetic brain stimulation with physical therapy to help improve movement, balance, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side for at least 6 months. It may help you regain more function in your affected arm or leg.
This study tests a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment tailored to each person, to help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people within 10 weeks of their first stroke who have some cognitive difficulties.
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.
