What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will test whether mild electrical brain stimulation, combined with physical therapy, changes brain activity in people who had a stroke. Sixty participants will receive either direct or alternating current stimulation during rehab sessions. Researchers will measure blood oxygen levels in the brain to see if the stimulation helps recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS and tACS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could reveal how brain stimulation enhances rehabilitation after stroke, potentially guiding future therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with no treatment outcome measured yet. Results may not lead to direct clinical benefits.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Mar 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 80 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Unilateral stroke individuals aged 18-80 years. 2. A first-ever stroke. 3. Stroke onset from at least 2 weeks-5 years. 4. Able to walk independently with or without gait aids (modified Rankin scale (mRS) 1-3) 5. Montreal cognitive Assessment-Thai version (MoCA-T) greater than or equal to 20 scores. 6.

Presence of any psychological or neurological antecedent, unstable medical conditions or condition that may increase risk of stimulation such as epilepsy, seizure, and history of brain injury 2. Having unstable cardiovascular disease or respiratory disease, and uncontrolled chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) 3. Receiving other non-invasive brain stimulation or additional intervention such as TMS, PMS or acupuncture 4. Presence of metal implantation, intracranial shunt, cochlear implantation, or cardiac pacemakers. 5. Presence of an opened wound, infectious wound around scalp or craniectomy with unreplaced bone flap 6.
