Spinal cord stimulation for arm and leg weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT07623512Recruiting
Brain imaging to track arm recovery after stroke
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT06696885Recruiting
Mobile App for Exercise Adherence and Hand Function in Chronic Stroke
This study tests whether using a mobile app can help stroke survivors stick with their exercise routine and improve hand function. It is for people who have had a stroke 6 months to 2 years ago and have some residual hand weakness but no severe stiffness or communication problems.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–75 - NCT06242366Recruiting
Transitional care program for stroke recovery
This trial tests a transitional care program for people recovering from a first-time stroke that caused weakness on one side of the body. The program is designed to help you manage your recovery at home after leaving the hospital.
Bang Kho Laem, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06700005Recruiting
Reading study for stroke survivors and healthy adults
This study looks at how reading is affected by stroke and by normal aging. Researchers hope to learn how the brain changes after a stroke and during aging, which could help improve reading therapy for stroke survivors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03720522Recruiting
Study brain-heart signals in acute stroke using MRI
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18–86 - NCT07619703Recruiting
Stroke Recovery Program Combining Therapy and Brain Stimulation
This study tests whether combining a hand-therapy program (CIMT) with mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) helps women recover hand function and quality of life after a stroke. You would attend therapy sessions over several weeks while receiving non-invasive brain stimulation to help rewire your brain's movement control.
Temuco, AraucaniaAges 30–85 - NCT07614074Recruiting
Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07616622Enrolling by invitation
Recovery Methods for Upper Arm Weakness After Stroke
This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Roods (a sensory-based technique) and PNF (a stretching and strengthening method)—to help improve arm function in people recovering from their first stroke. Both methods aim to help you regain strength and control in your upper arm and hand.
