Electrical device for chronic stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your stroke was caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain, at least 6 months ago but no more than 5 years ago
- You have some movement in your weaker arm, but it is limited (specific scores on arm function tests)
- You can sit for 40 minutes and follow simple instructions
- You have a friend or family member who can help you during study sessions

This trial tests a device called the 'Q Therapeutic System' that uses a special electromagnetic field to help people with chronic stroke recover arm and hand function. The treatment is given during therapy sessions, and the study aims to see if it's safe and effective in improving movement.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This trial tests a new brain-controlled device that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord to help restore arm and leg movement after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 9 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body, this may help you regain function.
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.
