Blood flow training with brain stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial combines blood flow restriction training with transcranial magnetic stimulation to improve arm and leg function after a stroke. It may help patients who have some movement but need further recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke confirmed by a brain scan (CT or MRI).
- This is your first stroke or a later stroke that left no lasting problems before.
- You are between 25 and 70 years old.
- You can understand and follow instructions, and your vital signs are stable.
- You have at least some movement in your arm and leg (Brunnstrom stage III or higher).

This trial tests if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
This trial tests whether using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help recovery.
This trial combines scalp acupuncture with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a noninvasive brain stimulation) to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke 1–6 months ago. It studies how these treatments affect brain networks.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
