Vibration and muscle stimulation for leg function after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a gentle vibrator to standard muscle-stimulation therapy can improve leg movement in people recovering from a stroke. It's for those who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago and have mild to moderate thinking and movement issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a home-based device that uses small electrical pulses to help activate weak leg muscles after a stroke. It aims to improve walking and leg strength, and uses a smartphone app for remote guidance.
This trial tests a small vibrating device worn on the skin to help your brain recover better after a stroke. It may improve movement in your arm or leg without needing surgery or medicine.
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
This study tests if a short, local vibration treatment can help stroke patients with leg spasticity (tightness in the calf muscle) improve walking. If you have had a stroke and have mild to moderate spasticity in your lower leg, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
This study tests a small vibrating device worn on the leg that gives you gentle buzzes to help you walk better after a stroke. It may improve your balance and confidence when walking.
