NCT ID NCT05600374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, timed to the patient's own brain waves, can improve arm and hand movement after an ischemic stroke. Researchers will enroll 144 adults who had a stroke 1-14 days ago and have significant arm weakness. Participants receive either real synchronized stimulation, unsynchronized stimulation, or a sham (placebo) treatment, and their motor function is measured right after and again at 3 months.
