Rehabilitation for arm recovery after stroke using observation and muscle stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if observing arm movements paired with muscle stimulation helps stroke survivors regain arm function. It may be an option if your stroke affected one arm and you are between two weeks and six months post-stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke that affected one arm (confirmed by MRI or CT scan).
- Your stroke happened between 2 weeks and 6 months ago.
- Your arm weakness is at least moderate (more than 2 on a standard strength scale).
- You do not have other nerve or bone problems that would limit arm exercises.
- You are not pregnant and do not have epilepsy or severe memory/language problems.

This trial tests if combining brain stimulation with watching hand movements can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago. It may help you regain better use of your affected hand.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
This trial tests whether stimulating certain nerves in the head can help improve arm movement and brain recovery in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It may be an option if you still have some arm movement but are not currently in rehab.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called PCMS to see if it can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It uses magnetic pulses to boost the brain's ability to control your arm.
