Rehabilitation with nerve stimulation for arm recovery after brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether pairing rehabilitation exercises with a gentle nerve stimulation device can help people who had a brain bleed (hemorrhagic stroke) more than 6 months ago improve arm and hand function. The treatment is non-invasive and may boost the brain's ability to relearn movements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 22 and 79 years old.
- You had a bleeding stroke (not a blocked-artery stroke) that affected one side of the body, at least 6 months ago but less than 5 years ago.
- You have some but not total loss of arm function (arm and hand weakness on one side).
- You are able to communicate and follow simple instructions.
- You are not pregnant, do not plan to become pregnant, and are not breastfeeding during the study.
- You have no other serious neurological conditions, no recent botox injections, and no implanted electrical devices (like a pacemaker).

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 trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
This trial tests whether a device called a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS), placed under the skin, is safe and helps improve arm function when started 3 months after a stroke. It is for people with moderate to severe arm weakness who can still move their arm a little.
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 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.
This study tests a new treatment for people who have a severe traumatic brain injury and still have trouble moving or doing daily tasks. It uses a device that sends mild electrical signals to the brain (called vagus nerve stimulation) to help recovery.
