Munich, BavariaAges 18–100 - NCT06230796Recruiting
Electrical stimulation cycling for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether using a special bike that delivers mild electrical pulses to your leg muscles can help improve walking after a stroke. If you have weakness on one side from a stroke that happened 3 to 12 months ago, this study may be a good fit for you.
Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d'Or, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06958289Recruiting
Cold therapy for muscle tightness: long-term effects and brain changes
This study tests if freezing a nerve (cryoneurolysis) can reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) and improve arm movement. It also looks at how the brain may change after treatment. If you have tight muscles that improved with a numbing nerve block, you may be eligible.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06623721Enrolling by invitation
Ear stimulation during movement for stroke and injury recovery
This study tests a gentle ear stimulation device that activates a nerve when you move your arm or leg, to see if it helps your recovery after a stroke or brain/spinal cord injury. If you still have some weakness, this could be a way to boost your rehabilitation.
WeggisAges 18 years+ - NCT06484374Recruiting
AI-robot guided surgery for large basal ganglia bleeding
This trial tests a new, less invasive brain surgery using a robotic arm guided by artificial intelligence (AI) to remove a large blood clot caused by a hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the stroke and were previously independent.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT06406842Recruiting
Brain oxygen and stroke risk in carotid surgery
This study looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07092176Recruiting
Steady Stride fall prevention study for older adults
This study compares a new fall-prevention program, Steady Stride, to the usual care for older adults who have fallen recently. It aims to help you stay steady and avoid future falls so you can keep living independently.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT06615141Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether a more immersive virtual reality (VR) game or a simpler VR game better helps improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke and still have arm weakness. You will use a VR headset or screen to do exercises, and researchers will see which approach works best.
