Brain Stimulation for Thinking and Movement After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining two types of safe brain stimulation—tDCS and TMS—can help improve thinking abilities and movement control in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients within 1–6 months of their first stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Native speaker of Mandarin or Cantonese

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment designed to help people who have had a stroke recover their working memory and thinking skills. The treatment uses electrical stimulation applied to the scalp and may help your brain rewire itself after stroke damage.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help improve hand function after stroke. Researchers believe stimulating two areas of the brain may help weakened hands recover better movement and strength.
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 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.
