This study tests an herbal medicine (MLC1501) to see if it helps people recover better after a stroke. If you join, you'll take the medicine or a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) while doing rehabilitation, and the study will track your recovery over time.
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 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 acupuncture can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You may qualify if you have memory and thinking changes consistent with Alzheimer’s and meet imaging and brain-scan score requirements.
This trial tests whether different frequencies of electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation) can improve swallowing difficulties after a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain. It may help you regain the ability to eat and drink safely.
This trial tests whether combining acupuncture with standard rehabilitation helps people recover better after an ischemic (blockage-type) stroke. It focuses on improving movement on one side and improving swallowing problems.
