Vibration therapy for arm and leg movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a small vibrating device worn on the skin to help your brain recover better after a stroke. It may improve movement in your arm or leg without needing surgery or medicine.

This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with a brain-computer interface could help you regain arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who have plateaued in their recovery and have some remaining movement but still struggle with daily tasks.
This study tests a wearable device that uses gentle vibrations on the skin to help reduce muscle spasticity (tightness) in the arms after a spinal cord injury. The device may help your muscles relax and improve your control.
This trial tests a vibrating device worn on the finger to help reduce Parkinson's symptoms in people who have had surgery for Parkinson's but not deep brain stimulation. It aims to see if this non-invasive therapy can improve movement and quality of life.
This study tests a small vibrating device worn on the leg that gives you gentle buzzes to help you walk better after a stroke. It may improve your balance and confidence when walking.
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
