Pressure therapy for leg strength after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if applying mechanical pressure to the skin can improve leg muscle strength in people who have had a stroke. It may help if you can stand or walk, even with help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (blockage or bleed) in one side of the brain, confirmed by a scan.
- At least 3 months have passed since your stroke.
- You can stand still or walk, with or without help.
- You do not have a pacemaker, heart failure, arrhythmia, or severe lung disease.
- You have not had Botox injections in the past year.

This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the lower back to see if it helps people who have trouble walking or moving their leg after a stroke. The goal is to improve balance and mobility.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests if a device that uses small electric pulses on the legs can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago improve their balance and walking. It is a pilot study to see if the method works well enough for a larger future study.
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to a walking and movement program helps stroke survivors walk better, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.
