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 movement after a stroke. If you have weakness on one side from a stroke, this treatment may help you regain more control over your affected arm and hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a stroke that left you with weakness only on one side of your body.
- The arm or hand on the affected side must be significantly weak but not completely paralyzed.
- You must not have severe muscle wasting, stiff joints, or major loss of feeling in the affected arm or hand.
- You must not have serious heart or lung problems that would make the study unsafe.
- You must have had an MRI or CT scan of your brain at Carle as part of your stroke care.

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 study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
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.
