This study tests if a hands-on ankle treatment can improve your sense of where your ankle is in space (proprioception) after a stroke. It looks at how well you can feel and control your ankle movement.
Bolu, MerkezAges 45–75 - NCT07551141Recruiting
Vibration to Help Stroke Recovery: Balance and Walking
This study tests whether vibrations applied to the bottom of your feet can help improve walking and balance after stroke. You'll receive plantar vibration therapy (gentle vibrations under your feet) while performing walking and balance exercises to see if it helps your recovery.
Bolu, MerkezAges 18–75 - NCT07724925Recruiting
Comparing two arm therapies for stroke recovery
This study compares two types of arm and hand therapy for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see which approach helps improve arm function and daily living skills.
Nankana SahibAges 45–70 - NCT07725003Recruiting
Home-based rehab program vs. standard physical therapy for stroke recovery
This study compares a home-based motor relearning program with standard physical therapy delivered through video calls, to see which helps stroke survivors improve movement and function better. It may be a good option if you had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago and have access to a device with internet.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT07725471Recruiting
Comparing breathing and neck release in stroke recovery
This study compares two gentle therapy techniques—special breathing exercises and a hands-on release at the base of the skull—to see which helps stroke survivors with one-sided weakness regain movement and breathing. It may be a good fit if you're still recovering from a first stroke months ago and don't have major heart or lung problems.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–84 - NCT07726017Recruiting
Balance and walking exercises for chronic stroke recovery
This study compares two types of walking and balance exercises for people who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago. It aims to see which type of practice helps improve balance and walking best.
