Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke happened at least 12 months ago.

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.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called PCMS to see if it can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It uses magnetic pulses to boost the brain's ability to control your arm.
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.
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 trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
This trial tests a brain implant that may help you move your arm better after a stroke. It focuses on people with moderate to severe arm weakness who still have some movement in their elbow or fingers.
