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.

- You are able to understand instructions and give your consent.
- You do not have metal in your head or an implanted electronic device (like a pacemaker).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This pilot study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and physical therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients regain better control and strength in their affected 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 trial tests whether placing a small brain stimulator (deep brain stimulation) in a part of the brain called the dentate nucleus can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke 1-3 years ago and still have moderate to severe arm weakness.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
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 brain-stimulation approach in people with chronic stroke who still have arm weakness. The goal is to see whether changing brain activity can improve recovery and function.
