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.

- 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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help improve hand function after stroke. Researchers believe stimulating two areas of the brain may help weakened hands recover better movement and strength.
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 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.
