Transcranial magnetic stimulation plus therapy for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with physical therapy to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It's for individuals who have some movement but could still improve, at least a year after their stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke (either kind) at least 12 months ago.
- You have some arm or hand movement but not full control.
- You can follow simple two-step instructions and give informed consent.
- You don't have severe cognitive, sensory, or language issues that would interfere.
- You don't have any metal or electronic implants in your head or body that would make brain stimulation unsafe.

This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
This trial is testing a new approach to help adults who have had a stroke improve their recovery. It focuses on understanding how well the treatment works and whether it is safe for people in this age group.
This study tests whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
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 if combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with arm and hand exercises helps people recover upper limb function after a first stroke. It is for adults who can follow instructions and have no metal in their head or a pacemaker.
This trial tests whether a specific type of brain stimulation, called theta burst stimulation, can help improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke. It looks at how different intensities of the stimulation affect recovery.
