Mirror therapy plus mild skin stimulation for leg movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a mirror together with mild electrical stimulation on the skin can improve lower-limb movement after stroke. You may be eligible if you can already lift your ankle a bit and walk independently, and if certain thinking, vision, and skin issues are not present.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had one stroke (either blocked blood vessel or brain bleeding) seen on a scan within the last 6 to 36 months
- You can actively lift your ankle upward at least a little while your leg is not against gravity
- You can walk 10 meters by yourself, with or without a walking aid
- You do not have certain stroke-related brain or thinking problems that affect understanding or testing (a brief memory/thinking score of 6+ out of 10)
- You do not have one-sided neglect, loss of half your vision, or trouble doing purposeful movements (apraxia)
- Your skin does not react to the electrical pad or electrodes (no significant allergy or irritation)

This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with mild electrical nerve stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you can move your unaffected arm and have some shoulder and wrist movement on your affected side.
This study tests if using a mirror to create the illusion of moving your weaker arm can help your real arm recover better after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago, are 18 to 80, and still have some but not too much movement in their affected arm.
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This study tests if combining mirror therapy with either gentle electrical stimulation or special sound beats can help improve leg movement and brain activity after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke at least 6 months ago and have some movement in their leg.
This study tests whether adding mirror therapy to regular walking and leg exercises helps people who have had a stroke walk better and improve leg function. Mirror therapy uses a mirror to create the illusion that the affected leg is moving, which may help rewire the brain.
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
