High-Intensity Interval Training for Chronic Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise mixed with rest) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking and overall fitness. It may be a good fit if you can already walk a bit and do not have unstable heart or lung problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago.

This study compares two walking therapy programs for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to see which approach improves walking ability more.
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods—can help improve walking, balance, and daily function in people who have had a stroke. It is for adults who are 50 to 80 years old, had their first stroke 1 to 5 years ago, and can walk at least 10 meters on their own.
This study tests whether a short, high-intensity interval exercise program is safe and practical for people who are recovering from a stroke during inpatient rehabilitation. You will be asked to do short bursts of exercise on a recumbent stepper, with rest periods, while your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored.
This study compares two types of exercise training to see which one better improves heart health, movement, and thinking skills in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who had a moderate stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk with some help.
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
