Brain stimulation and hand movement training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining brain stimulation with watching hand movements can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago. It may help you regain better use of your affected hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 59 years old.
- You had a single stroke that caused weakness in one hand, and it happened 6 to 24 months ago.
- Your hand muscles are not too stiff (spasticity grade 2 or less).
- You do not have severe vision loss on one side or trouble paying attention to one side.
- You are able to follow instructions and don't have other brain conditions affecting hand use.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help improve hand function after stroke. Researchers believe stimulating two areas of the brain may help weakened hands recover better movement and strength.
This trial tests a combination of mild electrical brain stimulation and a special hand therapy program to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and still have moderate to mild arm weakness.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can help improve hand and arm movement in people who had a stroke more than a year ago. The stimulation targets the parts of the brain that control movement, and the goal is to see if it can boost recovery when combined with standard therapy.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique can improve hand and arm function in people whose stroke happened more than 12 months ago. It may help if you have mild-to-moderate hand weakness and can follow training instructions.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
