Neck electrical stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the neck area to see if it helps improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can boost recovery in the early weeks after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old.
- You must have had your first stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) within the last 30 days.
- Your stroke must be mild or moderate, not severe.
- You need some remaining movement and strength in your arm and hand (weak but not completely paralyzed).
- You must be able to understand instructions and give consent.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
This study tests whether giving a mild brain stimulation treatment (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) at different times during daily rehabilitation helps people recover arm and hand movement better after a recent stroke. It is a non-invasive treatment that could boost the effects of your therapy.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This trial tests whether painless electrical nerve stimulation placed on the skin can improve thinking (cognitive function) and arm movement in people living with long-term stroke. If you qualify, you may receive this non-drug therapy and be assessed for changes in memory/thinking and upper-limb movement.
This trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
