Focused ultrasound for arm recovery after recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if focused ultrasound (a noninvasive sound wave therapy) can help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It is for people whose stroke occurred within the last three months and who still have some arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke happened in the last 3 months
- You have some weakness in your arm or hand (but not complete paralysis)
- You have not had a previous stroke or other brain disease before this one
- You can sit in a chair for at least 15 minutes
- You do not have a pacemaker, metal implants, or clopidogrel/blood thinners that can't be paused

This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
This study tests a new non-invasive therapy using low-intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate the brain area affected by a stroke, which may help improve arm weakness in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago.
This study tests whether combining focused ultrasound stimulation with immersive virtual reality can help restore vision in people who have lost part of their visual field due to a stroke that occurred 6 to 24 months ago.
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 if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. The stimulation is gentle and applied to the ear, aiming to aid recovery.
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
