Swiss Ball vs. Movement Training for Stroke Balance Recovery
This study compares two exercise approaches—using a Swiss ball and movement-based training—to help stroke survivors improve their balance and ability to move around safely. You'll do exercises at a medical center to see which method works better for restoring everyday movement skills.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT06061185Recruiting
CT scans for recent hemorrhagic stroke
This study uses advanced CT scans to get a better look at bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). It may help doctors understand the stroke and guide care.

Treatment for pain after stroke using spinal stimulation
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people who develop chronic pain after a stroke. The pain is caused by the stroke itself and doesn't respond well to regular pain medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send mild electrical signals to your spinal cord to reduce pain.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06746415Recruiting
