Testing a brain-controlled hand device after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a “closed-loop” neuroprosthesis (a hand-control device that responds to your movement) can improve hand grasping after a stroke. It may help people who cannot open or grab objects on their own, and who can safely participate during a short hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke affecting one side of an arm, shown on a CT or MRI, and it was more than 1 month ago
- You cannot voluntarily open your hand (2–5 fingers) to grasp an empty glass, but you can still hold objects placed in your hand
- You can sit in a chair for at least 1.5 hours during testing
- You can join follow-up for 5 days while you’re hospitalized as part of routine care
- You are 18+ and can sign written consent, and you’re covered by French health insurance
- You must not have nerve or muscle/tendon problems that stop your hand from passively opening enough to do the tasks

This trial tests if a wearable device that helps open and close the hand can be used at home by people who have weakness after a stroke. It may help improve your ability to grasp objects like a glass or spoon.
This study tests a home-use glove (SaeboGlove®) that may help people who had a stroke grip and hold objects with their hand. It looks at how using the glove affects arm function and what factors help people stick with the program.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device (ExoNET) that helps stroke survivors with hand weakness. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for people who had a stroke at least 8 months ago and still have trouble using their arm and hand.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This trial tests a high-tech glove that helps track and improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. It may be an option for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have mild to moderate arm weakness.
This trial tests a rehabilitation program to improve arm and hand function after a first stroke. It is designed for people who have some movement but need extra help to recover strength and control.
