This trial studies whether “scrambler therapy” can reduce ongoing pain in the body areas affected by a past stroke. It may help people who are at least a month past stroke and still have stroke-related pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06541015Recruiting
TENS for improving walking after stroke
This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can help stroke survivors walk better. You will receive TENS or placebo while walking on a treadmill, and the researchers will measure how your muscles respond.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07202143RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid treatment for severe stroke with low lymphocyte count
This trial tests if the steroid methylprednisolone helps people who have had a major stroke and also have low infection-fighting white blood cells (lymphocytes). It is for patients who are getting a procedure to remove the clot (thrombectomy) within 24 hours of the stroke.
