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 looks at how well the brain processes touch signals sent through small electrodes on the skin. It compares young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors to understand how stroke affects touch perception and could help improve sensory rehab.
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 your sense of touch helps your arm and hand get better after a stroke. You will do tasks and have brain scans to understand recovery, which may help future 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 looks at how stroke affects your sense of your own body, especially when you can't feel your left hand. It involves simple tasks to understand your experience, which may help improve future treatments.
