Electrical spinal stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had one ischemic stroke (not bleeding in the brain) that caused weakness on one side
- Your stroke was at least 6 months ago
- Your arm movement score is in a “moderate” or “moderate-mild” range at screening
- You can attend study sessions three times per week for about 8 months
- You have stable health and enough support to take part in all visits and testing
- If you can get pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test and use reliable birth control

This trial tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and a brain-computer interface that lets you control a device with your thoughts. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some movement in their wrist or fingers but need help improving arm function.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It involves training exercises combined with stimulation to see if this approach can strengthen your arms and hands.
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied to the skin can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is for those with significant arm weakness who are not currently in regular therapy.
