Testing brain and movement training after a one-sided stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This early research study looks at a way to improve thinking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. It may help people who still have problems using one side of their body to walk and learn new movement skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke affected only one side of the brain/body
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago
- You can walk on your own (with or without an assistive device)
- You can walk for 5 minutes without stopping
- You do not have trouble speaking or understanding words due to stroke (no aphasia)
- You can safely do MRI-related steps: no metal in your head, and you can tolerate enclosed spaces if needed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
This trial tests a brain-based training method (neurofeedback) to help improve hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 3 months and still have weakness on one side.
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
This study tests whether brain stimulation and robotic/arm training can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke. It may help strengthen movement and coordination by targeting brain pathways related to arm control.
This study looks at whether mental practice (imagining movements) and a therapy called motor imagery, along with visual scanning training, can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a right-brain stroke. You might benefit if you have trouble using your left arm and want to regain more control.
