ChongqingAges Any age - NCT07739875Recruiting
App-based therapy for post-stroke word-finding
This trial tests a therapy delivered through a smartphone app to help people with aphasia (trouble finding words after a stroke) improve their ability to name things. The therapy happens in daily life, not in a clinic, and is personalized to the words you need most.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–89 - NCT07736885Recruiting
Hand stimulation for thinking problems after stroke
This study tests a gentle, painless electrical stimulation on specific points on the hands to see if it helps improve thinking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke in the last 2 weeks to 6 months and are noticing some cognitive changes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 35–80 - NCT06479174Recruiting
Cognitive strategies after stroke with family support
This study tests if combining cognitive exercises with a safe, mild brain stimulation can help improve memory and thinking after a stroke. It also looks at how shared family health history might affect recovery.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07660263Recruiting
Predicting dementia after stroke with genetics and imaging
This study aims to develop a tool that predicts the risk of dementia after a stroke using genetic and imaging data. It enrolls both healthy adults and people who have had a stroke in the last 3 years.
Gyeonggi-do, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07731087Recruiting
Stem cell secretion therapy for thinking recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a therapy made from stem cell secretions can help improve memory and thinking after an ischemic stroke. It is for people who had a clot-related stroke in the past 3 months and now have mild to moderate cognitive issues.
Makassar, South SulawesiAges 40–75 - NCT07724730Recruiting
Moving with and without music after a stroke
This study compares two types of movement practice for people recovering from a recent stroke. One group will do everyday tasks like walking and reaching, and the other will do the same movements but with a rhythmic beat to help with timing and coordination.
Daska KalanAges 40–60 - NCT03317860Recruiting
Tests VR and brain stimulation for stroke neglect
This study looks at ways to measure and improve “neglect,” when someone has trouble noticing one side after a stroke. It involves specific brain/hand stimulation testing and focuses on people a few months after stroke.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04432883Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke aphasia
This trial tests whether targeted mild brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech therapy results for people with long-lasting (chronic) aphasia after a stroke. It may help strengthen naming and communication when added to standard speech-language treatment.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 25–85 - NCT04433351Recruiting
Rehab training to improve speech after stroke in French speakers
This trial studies a sensory-and-movement training approach to help people relearn speech after stroke-related language difficulties. It may help if your type of post-stroke aphasia is mainly non-fluent and you can safely complete brain scans.
GrenobleAges 55–75 - NCT04804384Recruiting
Testing a brain-controlled hand device after a stroke
This study tests whether a “closed-loop” neuroprosthesis (a hand-control device that responds to your movement) can improve hand grasping after a stroke. It may help people who cannot open or grab objects on their own, and who can safely participate during a short hospital stay.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04829071RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing brain and movement training after a one-sided stroke
