Non-invasive brain stimulation to aid stroke rehab
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke was between 6 months and 6 years ago
- You can understand the study and fill out questionnaires
- You can stand upright, with or without walking aids
- You must be able to use the device safely (no pacemaker, no internal bleeding, no active ulcers/wounds where electrodes would go, no recent fever/infection, and no acute blood-vessel inflammation)
- You must not have severe fear of electricity, and you must sign the consent form

This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
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 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.
This trial tests a new way to stimulate the brain using harmless electric fields to help improve leg and foot movement after a stroke, while also doing standard physical therapy. It may help you regain strength and coordination in your lower body.
This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. The stimulation is gentle and applied to the ear, aiming to aid recovery.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may improve motor function when combined with rehabilitation.
