Magnetic stimulation plus nerve surgery for spastic hand
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of magnetic stimulation and a surgical procedure to relax overactive muscles and improve hand function in people with spasticity on the right side of the body. It's for those who haven't been helped by standard therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paralysis or severe weakness on the right side of your body, especially in your hand.
- Traditional physical therapy has not helped your hand function.
- A nerve block test must show at least a 2-point improvement in muscle tightness.
- You do not have serious heart or lung disease, advanced cancer, or joint stiffness.
- You do not have irreversible muscle shortening due to scar tissue.

This study tests whether a combination of two therapies—gentle nerve stimulation on the ear and a special hand movement training—can help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke on the left side of the brain and still have significant arm weakness.
This study tests a new therapy that combines brain stimulation with hand exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some difficulty using your arm or hand.
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with physical therapy to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It's for individuals who have some movement but could still improve, at least a year after their stroke.
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can improve hand movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It's designed for those whose first stroke affected the carotid artery area and who still have some hand tightness and weakness.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve hand movement in people who have had a stroke and have severe arm weakness. It uses a special device to stimulate the brain and may help with motor recovery.
