Brain stimulation for hand weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke confirmed by a brain scan (CT or MRI).
- This is your first stroke, and it affected only one side of your brain.
- You are between 30 and 75 years old.
- You were right-handed before the stroke.
- Your stroke happened at least 2 weeks ago.
- You have weakness in the hand on one side of your body (not completely paralyzed).

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 trial tests a combination of mild electrical brain stimulation and a special hand therapy program to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and still have moderate to mild arm weakness.
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 trial tests if combining brain stimulation with watching hand movements can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago. It may help you regain better use of your affected hand.
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 safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
