Spinal cord stimulation to improve arm and hand function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a device placed near the spinal cord can help improve movement, feeling, and pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had one stroke and have weakness on one side of the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.

- You have some, but not too much, movement in your arm and hand.
- You are willing to have surgery to place a spinal cord stimulator.
- You are generally healthy and can safely do rehabilitation exercises.

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 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.
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 mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
This study tests a personalized electrical stimulation treatment placed near the spine to see if it can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. If you have a stable injury above the mid-back and have not had new nerve problems in the last 6 months, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
