Jinan, ShandongAges 30–75 - NCT06938243RecruitingPhase 1
Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Early Stroke Arm Recovery
This trial tests whether a device called a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS), placed under the skin, is safe and helps improve arm function when started 3 months after a stroke. It is for people with moderate to severe arm weakness who can still move their arm a little.
Jinan, ShandongAges 30–75 - NCT07119801Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help reduce muscle tightness in the wrist and hand after a stroke. It may be an option if you have had one stroke, are between 35 and 65 years old, and still have stiffness that bothers you.
DenizliAges 35–65 - NCT07113990Recruiting
Electroacupuncture and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining two therapies—electroacupuncture (needles with mild electric current) and rTMS (a magnetic pulse to the brain)—can help you regain movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke less than 6 months ago and are still working on motor recovery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 40–75 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT05874154Recruiting
Nerve surgery vs botox for spastic foot after stroke
This trial compares two treatments—tibial nerve selective surgery and botulinum toxin (botox) injections—to improve a stiff, turning-in foot after stroke. It aims to use goal-based care to see which option works better for walking and foot function.
BronAges 18–100 - NCT06767631Recruiting
Muscle and nerve changes after botox for stroke foot tightness
This study looks at how botulinum toxin (botox) injections affect the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the lower leg of people who have had a stroke and have a tight, twisted foot (equinovarus). It aims to understand these changes to improve future treatments.
LeuvenAges 40–60 - NCT06365476Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy (gentle sound waves) can help relax stiff wrist and finger muscles after a stroke. It is for adults who have had one stroke and have noticeable muscle tightness in their arm.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06555016Recruiting
Balance training intensity after stroke
This study tests different levels of balance training in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It aims to find the best exercise intensity to improve balance and prevent falls.
Toronto, OntarioAges 20 years+ - NCT06400186Recruiting
Walking training to improve balance after stroke
This trial tests a new walking training method designed to help you improve your balance after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance, with or without a cane or simple ankle brace.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06296082RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Dry Needling vs Botox for Post-Stroke Leg Stiffness
This study compares two treatments for leg stiffness after a stroke: dry needling (tiny needles placed in trigger points) and Botox injections. It may help you if you've had a first stroke within the past year and have mild to moderate tightness in the calf muscles that limits ankle movement.
Antwerp, FlandersAges 18–75 - NCT06192953Recruiting
Early movement therapy after stroke
This trial tests a type of therapy that uses gentle movements and pressure to help your brain and body recover after a stroke. It's for people who recently had a stroke and have weakness on one side, and you will be asked to do special exercises guided by a therapist.
NiceAges 18–100 - NCT05315726Recruiting
Vibration therapy to reduce stiffness after stroke
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
Chalon-sur-SaôneAges 18 years+ - NCT03317860Recruiting
Improving care for neglect after stroke
This study tests better ways to measure and treat a condition called neglect, where stroke survivors ignore one side of their world. It may help you regain more use of your arm if you have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm movement but still find it hard to pay attention to one side.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07156955Recruiting
Arm movement training after stroke

SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07153536Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and therapy for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.

- How do I know if I qualify for a post-stroke spasticity trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a post-stroke spasticity trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
