Brain Stimulation to Improve Arm Movement After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. The goal is to find the best way to use this treatment to help you regain movement and strength in your affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You had a stroke that weakened one arm or hand (you may use a wheelchair or assistive devices)
- Your arm weakness is moderate to significant, but you don't have severe muscle wasting, stiffness, or loss of sensation
- You had an MRI or CT brain scan at Carle Hospital during or after your stroke diagnosis
- You can speak and understand English and are able to give informed consent
- You are willing to attend sessions and undergo the brain stimulation treatment

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can help improve hand and arm movement in people who had a stroke more than a year ago. The stimulation targets the parts of the brain that control movement, and the goal is to see if it can boost recovery when combined with standard therapy.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
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.
This trial tests whether carefully targeted, noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain can improve arm and overall recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help by supporting brain relearning during the first weeks after stroke.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
