Stem cell proteins and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of proteins from stem cells and a safe brain stimulation method to help people recover movement after a stroke. It may improve recovery when started 1 to 6 months after a first stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 75 years old.
- You had your first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) 1 to 6 months ago.
- Your stroke was confirmed by an MRI or CT scan.
- You are able to receive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy.
- You do not have a history of active seizures or any metal or implanted devices in your head that would make rTMS unsafe.

This trial tests if a treatment that uses magnetic pulses on the head (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) combined with physical therapy can help improve movement and daily activities after a stroke. It is for people who had their first ischemic stroke and have weakness on one side.
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 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 studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
This study tests whether two different types of magnetic brain stimulation, when added to physical therapy, can help improve arm and hand recovery after a recent stroke. It compares them to a 'fake' stimulation to see which approach works best.
This study combines magnetic brain stimulation with physical therapy to help improve movement, balance, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side for at least 6 months. It may help you regain more function in your affected arm or leg.
