Leg and brain stimulation for walking after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two types of electrical stimulation—one applied to the head and one to the legs—to see if it helps improve walking and leg strength after a recent stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last 14 days and can still walk with or without support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a combination of two non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation techniques to help people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury regain leg movement. If you have some leg function, this therapy might help you walk better and improve your independence.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
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 study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This study tests a multi-channel electrical stimulation device that helps people who have had a stroke walk better. It uses small electrical pulses to help your leg muscles move during walking, and the goal is to see if it's practical and effective for rehabilitation.
