Brain stimulation to help arm and leg recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation to see if it can improve arm and leg function in people who recently had a stroke. It may help with movement recovery in the first few months after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blockage in a main brain artery, confirmed by an MRI.
- Your stroke happened within the last 3 months and it's your first stroke.
- You are 45 years or older.
- You have limited arm and hand movement (at an early recovery stage).
- You have not had physical therapy for this stroke yet.
- You can sit with at least minimal support and are medically stable.
- You have good thinking and memory skills (score above 24 on a standard test).
- You speak Turkish and can give written consent.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) to see if it can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The stimulation is guided by brain imaging to target the right areas.
This study tests whether brain stimulation (called TMS, a non-invasive magnetic pulse) can help predict how well you recover after a stroke. By measuring the brain's response, doctors hope to personalize rehabilitation. If you've had a recent first stroke, you might be eligible to participate.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve arm and leg movement after a stroke. You will receive magnetic pulses to specific brain areas, which may help your brain rewire and recover motor function.
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 is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
