Stroke Recovery Program Combining Therapy and Brain Stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a hand-therapy program (CIMT) with mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) helps women recover hand function and quality of life after a stroke. You would attend therapy sessions over several weeks while receiving non-invasive brain stimulation to help rewire your brain's movement control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a woman between 30 and 80 years old
- Had a stroke (either bleeding or clot type) more than 1 month ago, confirmed by CT scan
- Have some ability to sit upright and control your trunk
- Score at least 14 points on a thinking/memory test (Minimental Exam)
- Be able to grasp and release a small ball with your affected hand
- No severe shoulder pain or muscle stiffness in the affected arm

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 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 a new therapy that combines brain stimulation with hand exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some difficulty using your arm or hand.
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
