rTMS for arm and leg recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a personalized form of brain stimulation, called rTMS, can improve arm and leg movement after a first ischemic stroke. It may be an option if you have weakness on one side and are between 2 and 12 weeks post-stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- First stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic), confirmed by MRI
- Stroke happened 2 to 12 weeks ago
- You have weakness on one side of your body (arm or leg)
- You are able to understand and follow study instructions
- You do not have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or certain metal implants

This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
This trial tests if combining repetitive magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) with two-handed therapy can improve arm function after a first-time stroke. It may help people who have weakness or difficulty using one hand due to a stroke within the past year.
This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
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 tests whether a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation, given with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand movement after a recent ischemic stroke. It compares three different approaches to see which works best.
This trial tests whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke within the past 3 months. It is designed for patients with moderate to severe arm weakness who are still in the hospital.
