Brain stimulation to improve arm and hand movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
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 (due to a blocked blood vessel) within the last 14 days.
- The stroke affected one side of the brain and was confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- Before the stroke, you were able to live independently without needing help from others.
- You have moderate to severe arm or hand weakness, but you are awake and able to follow simple commands.
- You do not have metal in your head, a pacemaker, or other implanted devices that could be affected by magnetic stimulation.

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.
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 tests whether a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke within the past 3 months. It is designed for patients with moderate to severe arm weakness who are still in the hospital.
This study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to help people with arm weakness after a stroke improve their movement and daily function.
