Brain stimulation and arm therapy for chronic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the brain, called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), together with arm rehabilitation can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke over 9 months ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can improve arm movement recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke affecting their arm and are at least 3 months past the stroke.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
This study tests if a gentle electric current applied to the back of the brain (cerebellum) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. You may qualify if you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some ability to grip with your affected hand.
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 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.
