This trial studies an herbal treatment given after an ischemic stroke to see if it improves recovery during rehab. It may help people regain more movement and daily function after stroke.
This trial tests whether combining two therapies—electroacupuncture (needles with mild electric current) and rTMS (a magnetic pulse to the brain)—can help you regain movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke less than 6 months ago and are still working on motor recovery.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment designed to help people who have had a stroke recover their working memory and thinking skills. The treatment uses electrical stimulation applied to the scalp and may help your brain rewire itself after stroke damage.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (using tiny electric pulses through thin needles) can help improve memory, focus, and thinking after a stroke. If you have mild to moderate thinking problems after a stroke, this treatment may help support your recovery.
This trial tests whether combining acupuncture with a non-invasive brain stimulation method can help people recover speech after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke on the left side of the brain at least one month ago.
