Stroke rehabilitation outcome prediction with brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether brain stimulation (called TMS, a non-invasive magnetic pulse) can help predict how well you recover after a stroke. By measuring the brain's response, doctors hope to personalize rehabilitation. If you've had a recent first stroke, you might be eligible to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had your first-ever ischemic stroke, confirmed by a brain scan.
- Your stroke must have happened between 5 days and 6 months ago.
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- Your thinking and memory are mostly intact, as measured by a standard test.
- Your anxiety and depression scores are low.
- You have some movement in your upper limb but not full strength (e.g., can move against gravity but not full resistance).
- No implanted electronic devices (like a pacemaker), no epilepsy, no severe heart rhythm problems, no intracranial aneurysm, no uncontrolled medical conditions, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation to see if it can improve arm and leg function in people who recently had a stroke. It may help with movement recovery in the first few months after stroke.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
