Brain and nerve stimulation for leg movement after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if combining two types of gentle electrical stimulation—one on the head and one on the leg—can improve walking and leg function in people who had a stroke 2 weeks ago. It's for first-time stroke survivors who can already walk a bit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- First stroke (not a mini-stroke or silent stroke) confirmed by brain scan
- 2 to 14 days since your stroke
- Able to walk with or without help (like a cane or walker)
- Age 21 to 80 years old
- No metal implants or devices in your head or chest (like a pacemaker or brain stimulator)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether combining two types of nerve stimulation—one applied to the scalp and one to the lower spine—can help people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injuries regain walking ability. Participants will receive this treatment over several months and be measured on how far and how well they can walk.
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 brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve walking and movement after a stroke. The procedure is non-invasive, meaning no surgery or implants.
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 is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
