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 method to help improve arm and hand movement after a first ischemic stroke. It may help people who still have moderate to severe weakness months after their stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS, tailored to each person, can improve arm and hand movement in people who had their first stroke 1 to 3 months ago. It may help you regain more use of your affected 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 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 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.
