MitoQ and leg conditioning for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supplement called MitoQ and a special leg-pumping technique can improve blood vessel health in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may help your body recover better after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have weakness on one side of your body.
- You can understand simple instructions and speak English.
- You can stand up from a chair without someone physically helping you (using a cane or walker is okay).
- You do not have a history of blood clots in your arms or legs, or any leg wounds that would prevent using a leg compression device.
- You have not had a heart attack or serious heart rhythm problem in the past year, and your blood pressure is not very high (top number below 180, bottom number below 100).

This study looks at how blood flow affects muscle function after a stroke. It may help researchers understand recovery better and find new ways to improve movement.
This trial tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) to improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm and compression boots on your legs to help your brain recover.
This trial tests if a limb therapy called RIC can help people recover from a stroke caused by small vessel disease. It is designed for people aged 50-65 who have had a recent stroke and have few other health issues.
This trial studies an herbal treatment given after an ischemic stroke to see if it improves recovery during rehab. It may help people regain more movement and daily function after stroke.
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
