Brain stimulation for fatigue after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce fatigue after a first stroke. It may help improve energy levels and quality of life during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke, and it happened between 1 week and 6 months ago.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have significant weakness in one leg (quadriceps strength of 3 or less on a 5-point scale).
- You have no other major neurological or movement conditions (like Parkinson's or severe arthritis) that affect your mobility.
- You do not have a pacemaker, deep brain stimulator, or other implanted devices that could be affected by brain stimulation.

This trial tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and a talking therapy program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve energy and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can reduce fatigue after a stroke. If you have ongoing tiredness that started or got worse after your stroke, this treatment might help.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can improve arm movement recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke affecting their arm and are at least 3 months past the stroke.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
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.
