Electrical stimulation for leg mobility after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the lower back to see if it helps people who have trouble walking or moving their leg after a stroke. The goal is to improve balance and mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke (from a clot or bleeding in the brain).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have trouble moving or feeling your leg because of the stroke.
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal implants in your spine.
- You do not have other serious health issues (like severe vision, balance, or joint problems) that would affect the tests.
- You can understand simple instructions and score well on a basic memory test.

This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called trans-spinal magnetic stimulation to help improve walking and movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those with trouble walking and are at least 6 months past their stroke.
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
