Zapping the brain to restore hand movement after stroke

NCT ID NCT06809959

First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study tested a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tACS in 20 stroke survivors who still had hand weakness. The goal was to see if it could improve connections between brain areas involved in movement. While the approach is promising, this was a small, early-stage study focused on measuring brain changes, not a proven treatment.
