Home rehab program for stroke survivors with aphasia or memory issues

MetzAges 18 years+ - NCT06973590Recruiting
Blood flow restriction and nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining blood flow restriction with mild electrical nerve stimulation can improve ankle and leg movement after a stroke. It may help you if you had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT06974279Recruiting

HyèresAges 18 years+ - NCT06987305RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting medication before clot removal for late-arriving stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-busting medication (rhTNK-tPA) before a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people who have a moderate-to-severe stroke and arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. It's for those with a large artery blockage but still enough brain tissue that can be saved.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06987682Recruiting
Posture training after stroke with light electric stimulation
This trial tests if a device that uses small electric pulses on the legs can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago improve their balance and walking. It is a pilot study to see if the method works well enough for a larger future study.
