Stroke study seeks brain regions to boost arm healing
NCT ID NCT05313776
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to identify brain areas outside the main motor region that help arm recovery after a severe stroke. Researchers followed 28 patients over time, using MRI and movement tracking to see which brain areas became active as arm function improved. The goal was to find new spots for brain stimulation to enhance rehabilitation.
