Pressure therapy for leg strength after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle pressure on the skin can help people who have had a stroke regain strength in their legs. It is a possible way to improve walking and standing.

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 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 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 tests a new way to stimulate the brain using harmless electric fields to help improve leg and foot movement after a stroke, while also doing standard physical therapy. It may help you regain strength and coordination in your lower body.
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 a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the back of the head to see if it can improve walking and leg movement in people who have had a stroke. It may help you move better and regain function.
