Non-invasive brain signal control for assistive devices
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests an assistive device that you control using signals from the brain and muscles without surgery. It may help people with movement problems communicate or operate devices using gentle, non-invasive sensing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can participate in good overall health for the full study session
- You can see well with your natural vision or glasses/contacts
- You can read and understand English and give informed consent
- You have a movement problem due to certain conditions (like stroke, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, cerebral palsy, or similar)
- You must be able to stay focused for the whole session (no major attention or thinking problems)
- Your skin and body must allow electrode sensors (no infections, open wounds, dermatitis where electrodes go; no metal under the electrode spots)

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device used alongside stroke rehabilitation can improve recovery after stroke. It may help people regain function during a phase when stroke effects have stabilized but recovery is still possible.
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This study tests two non-invasive treatments—magnetic pulses to the brain and mild electrical stimulation to arm muscles—to see if they can improve hand movement and daily tasks in people with multiple sclerosis. Participation may help you use your hands more easily.
This trial tests a personalized form of electrical brain stimulation to improve cognitive problems like memory and thinking speed in people with conditions that damage the protective coating around nerves. It aims to see if this treatment can help with day-to-day thinking challenges.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
