Hot spring therapy for walking and balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if warm spring water exercises can help improve walking and balance in people recovering from a stroke. It may be a soothing way to regain mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either a clot or bleeding in the brain) within the last 6 months, or your last stroke was more than 6 months ago.
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You can walk with some help, but still have moderate balance problems (Berg Balance Scale score over 40).
- You do not have serious confusion or memory loss (MMSE score 15 or higher).
- You do not have open wounds, active infections, severe epilepsy, or other major illnesses that would make water therapy unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
This trial studies whether backward walking training can improve balance and walking speed after a stroke. It may help people who still have trouble staying steady or walking quickly during recovery.
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
This trial tests whether combining corrective exercises with rhythmic music (auditory cues) helps people recover better balance, walking ability, and quality of life after a stroke. The goal is to see if music-guided movement improves recovery more than exercise alone.
This study tests alternative therapies to help improve physical abilities like walking, balance, and arm/leg function after a stroke. It may help if you can follow instructions and safely participate in supervised movement exercises.
This study tracks how balance and walking change over time after a first stroke, using simple tests and wearable sensors. It may help find better ways to help you recover your ability to walk safely.
