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).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), which uses gentle blood pressure cuffs to briefly restrict blood flow to the arms or legs, with the goal of improving blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It is designed for people who have recently had stroke symptoms and are generally healthy before the stroke.
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 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.
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
This study tests whether combining blood flow restriction training (using a cuff to lightly restrict blood flow during exercise) with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help improve arm and leg function after a stroke. The goal is to see if this combination helps you regain more movement and independence.
