Body alignment after stroke or mini-stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a stroke or mini-stroke affects the body's natural movement and alignment (called somatic dysfunction). Researchers want to see if there are common patterns of tightness or imbalance after a stroke, which could help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had an ischemic stroke (blocked blood vessel in the brain) or a transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke).
- You are stable enough that your symptoms haven't gotten worse in the last 24 hours.
- You can sit up, lie down, and roll onto your side with some help or on your own.
- You do not have broken bones, a neck brace, recent spinal surgery, or a spinal cord injury that affects movement.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how the brain and arm work together after a stroke, comparing people who have had a recent stroke, people who had a stroke a while ago, and healthy people. It involves three sessions of movement tasks and may include an MRI scan. It could help understand how to improve therapy for stroke recovery.
This study looks at how to predict and measure spasticity (muscle stiffness and tightness) in people after a recent stroke. It may help clinicians better diagnose and understand what to expect as you recover.
This study tests whether a specific head position after stroke treatment can improve recovery. It may help people who have had a severe stroke and received clot-busting or clot-removal therapy.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This study looks at how stroke affects your movement and nervous system over time. You will do simple movement tests and answer quality-of-life surveys to help researchers understand how to improve recovery.
This study looks at how balance, arm function, and body awareness are related in people who have had a stroke. It may help understand how these factors affect recovery and daily life.
