Electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied to the skin can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is for those with significant arm weakness who are not currently in regular therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical nerve stimulation treatment (called TENS) can help improve arm and hand function after a recent stroke. If you have some movement on your weaker side, this may help you recover better.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
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 study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
