Magnetic field treatment for arm recovery after chronic stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that uses a special magnetic field to help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve arm movement. It's for those with moderate arm weakness who are willing to do exercises during sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago, but not more than 5 years ago.
- You have some movement in your affected arm, like being able to move at least 1 block in a box test.
- You are able to sit for 40 minutes at a time during treatment.
- You have a friend or family member who can help you get to sessions.
- You are not currently in another arm therapy program.

This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
This trial tests a wearable device that uses magnetic fields to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago and have some trouble using their affected arm.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This study tests whether a very low-frequency magnetic field can help people recover after a stroke. It is for people age 60 and older who had a recent ischemic stroke (clot-caused stroke) within the last two weeks.
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.
