Brain stimulation study for stroke patients and healthy volunteers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) combined with EEG to understand how the brain controls movement speed after a stroke. It compares healthy volunteers to stroke survivors whose movement has slowed due to network problems, not direct damage to key brain regions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a healthy volunteer with no neurological conditions or a stroke survivor whose stroke spared specific prefrontal brain regions
- You have no history of epilepsy or other conditions that make MRI or TMS unsafe
- You do not have other medical or psychiatric conditions that affect thinking or movement
- For stroke survivors: your brain scan (MRI) must show the stroke did not damage the prefrontal areas being studied

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultra-powerful MRI to see how the brain reorganizes after a stroke. It may help explain why some people recover arm movement and guide future therapies.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
This study tests a new way to apply brain stimulation called TMS while watching your brain activity in real time, tailored to your personal brain state. It is for people who still have arm or hand weakness at least 6 months after a 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 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 study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
