High-Intensity Interval Training for Chronic Stroke
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise mixed with rest) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking and overall fitness. It may be a good fit if you can already walk a bit and do not have unstable heart or lung problems.
TaipeiAges 18–69 - NCT05816603RecruitingPhase 2
Stimulation treatment to help post-stroke fatigue
This Phase 2 study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the brain can reduce fatigue after a stroke. It may help people who are still bothered by significant tiredness at least 3 months after their stroke.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05694663Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation to aid stroke recovery
