Non-invasive nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (caused by a clot or bleeding) that left you with weakness on one side of the body.
- It has been more than 6 months since your stroke occurred.
- You are able to follow simple two-step instructions.
- You have some movement left in your affected arm and it is not too stiff.
- Before joining, you need to be able to safely have an MRI of the brain.

This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 5 years and still have arm weakness.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve in the ear can improve arm and hand recovery when combined with physical therapy. It is for people who had a stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm weakness but can still move their arm a little.
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the neck to help improve arm and hand function after a recent stroke. It is for people who have some but not full use of their arm and hand.
This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
