Wearable device training for stroke arm coordination
This trial tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 21 years+ - NCT05591196Recruiting
Electrical spinal stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–80 - NCT06749002Recruiting
Functional training for turning after stroke
This trial tests whether adding functional muscle training to turning-specific exercises helps people who have had a stroke turn more easily. It may benefit those who can walk with supervision and have no major memory or other neurological problems.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–60 - NCT05584124RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation treatment for lasting fatigue after stroke
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 34–80 - NCT06692569Recruiting
Modified physical therapy for arm and hand recovery after stroke
This study tests a type of physical therapy called modified constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. You will be encouraged to use your affected arm more often while the stronger arm is gently restricted, which may help retrain your brain and improve movement.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT05626894RecruitingPhase 2
Wrist sensor app to help use the weaker arm at home
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
