Brain stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to help people with arm weakness after a stroke improve their movement and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke at least 6 months ago.
- You have weakness in one arm or hand, but some movement is still possible.
- You can follow instructions and attend 1-hour treatment sessions.
- You do not have a history of seizures or a metal or electronic implant in your body.
- You have not had Botox injections in your arm within the last 3 months.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help improve arm and hand movement after a first ischemic stroke. It may help people who still have moderate to severe weakness months after their stroke.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS, tailored to each person, can improve arm and hand movement in people who had their first stroke 1 to 3 months ago. It may help you regain more use of your affected arm.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
This pilot study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and physical therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients regain better control and strength in their affected arm.
This trial tests whether a specific type of brain stimulation, called theta burst stimulation, can help improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke. It looks at how different intensities of the stimulation affect recovery.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
