Non-invasive brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may improve motor function when combined with rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your first stroke, which was caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain.
- Your stroke happened at least 12 weeks ago.
- You have moderate to severe arm weakness, but not complete paralysis.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or other devices that are not safe for MRI or brain stimulation.
- You are not pregnant and do not use narcotics or abuse alcohol.

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.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
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 a combination of mild electrical brain stimulation and a special hand therapy program to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and still have moderate to mild arm weakness.
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.
