Guided magnetic pulse therapy for arm and leg recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a magnetic pulse therapy (called cTBS) to help people recover arm and leg movement after a recent stroke. Doctors use brain imaging to guide the treatment exactly where it might help most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke (a blockage) in the last 14 days.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- The stroke affects one side of your brain (not both sides) and you have weakness or paralysis in your arm or leg.
- You did not have a significant disability before this stroke (you could do your usual activities).
- You cannot have metal in your head (like certain clips or fragments), a pacemaker, an implanted drug pump, or a cochlear implant.
- You should not have a history of seizures, serious brain conditions, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) to see if it can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The stimulation is guided by brain imaging to target the right areas.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation to see if it can improve arm and leg function in people who recently had a stroke. It may help with movement recovery in the first few months after 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 trial studies whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain can improve movement in people with weakness after a stroke. It may help if your stroke happened more than 2 weeks ago and you can safely receive the magnetic treatment.
This study tests a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment tailored to each person, to help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people within 10 weeks of their first stroke who have some cognitive difficulties.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
