Tracking touch signals in the nervous system
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures how your body processes a touch signal from your hand to your brain. It compares healthy young adults and people with stroke to understand how the nervous system changes after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are right-handed
- For healthy volunteers: you are 18 to 23 years old
- For stroke survivors: you had a single stroke more than one year ago, and it happened after age 18
- You have not had injections for muscle spasticity in the last 6 months (if you had a stroke)
- Your stroke did not affect the brainstem or cerebellum, and you do not have neglect (ignoring one side of space)
- You can provide consent on your own behalf, even if you have trouble speaking (aphasia)

This study tests how well people can feel small electrical pulses on their fingertips. It compares young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors to understand changes in touch perception.
This early-stage study tests whether special sensory feedback (like touch or vibration on your hand) can help improve hand movement and coordination in people recovering from stroke. Researchers want to understand how the brain relearns hand control.
This study looks at how feeling and movement in your hand recover after a stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans and simple hand tasks to understand why some people recover better than others, which might help design better rehab treatments.
This study tests if using a special device to feel different textures can help improve hand and arm recovery in people who have had a stroke.
This study tests a special glove that helps measure how well you can feel touch after a stroke. It's for people who had a single stroke within the last 6 months and have some thinking and memory ability.
This study follows how stroke survivors’ arm feeling (sensory) and movement (motor) recover over time. It may help clinicians better understand recovery patterns in Asian patients and improve rehabilitation support.
