Using touch to improve recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if using a special device to feel different textures can help improve hand and arm recovery in people who have had a stroke.

This study looks at how your sense of touch helps your arm and hand get better after a stroke. You will do tasks and have brain scans to understand recovery, which may help future treatments.
This early-stage study tests whether special sensory feedback (like touch or vibration on your hand) can help improve hand movement and coordination in people recovering from stroke. Researchers want to understand how the brain relearns hand control.
This study tests a special glove that helps measure how well you can feel touch after a stroke. It's for people who had a single stroke within the last 6 months and have some thinking and memory ability.
This study tests a hands-on sensory training approach that uses signals from one sense to help your brain control your arm and hand after stroke. It may help improve grip and arm steadiness, especially for people who still have mild-to-moderate arm weakness more than 6 months after a stroke.
This study looks at how well the brain processes touch signals sent through small electrodes on the skin. It compares young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors to understand how stroke affects touch perception and could help improve sensory rehab.
This study measures how your body processes a touch signal from your hand to your brain. It compares healthy young adults and people with stroke to understand how the nervous system changes after a stroke.
