Mexidol Safety and Efficacy for Acute Ischemic Stroke
This trial tests whether Mexidol, a medication that may protect brain tissue, can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot). The study includes stroke patients and healthy volunteers to understand how the drug works and if it's safe.

Breathing and Balance Training After Stroke
This study tests whether combining rhythmic breathing exercises with balance training can improve balance and trunk control in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in structured exercises designed to help you regain stability and core strength.
Sargodha, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT07576465Recruiting
Combining Movement Therapy and Electrical Stimulation After Stroke
This trial tests whether combining a specialized movement therapy (SBMT) with electrical nerve stimulation (NMES) can help improve upper arm and hand function in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients 3–6 months after their stroke, when recovery potential is still strong.
Jhang, Punjab ProvinceAges 4.2 years–5.4 years - NCT07576426Recruiting
Shoulder Exercises for Breastfeeding Women With Shoulder Pain
