Brain stimulation for memory and movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies if using two types of brain stimulation (safe electrical and magnetic pulses) can help improve thinking and movement after a stroke. If you are still having memory or concentration issues, this might help you recover more function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (first time, affecting one side of the brain) that happened 1 to 6 months ago.
- You are between 30 and 80 years old.
- Speak Mandarin or Cantonese as your main language.
- You are right-handed.
- You have thinking or memory problems after the stroke (confirmed by a screening test).
- Your hearing is normal and you can do a simple speech test.
- You are not currently using other brain stimulation treatments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to specific brain areas can improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. The treatment is non-invasive (no surgery) and aims to help with the cognitive difficulties that often follow a stroke.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are still in the early recovery phase (between 10 days and 5 months after their stroke) and have some ongoing cognitive problems.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help improve hand movement after a stroke. It focuses on people who have weakness in one hand due to a first-time stroke.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
