Muscle function in stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscles work after a stroke. It aims to better understand long-term weakness or loss of function on one side of the body, which could help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a type of therapy that uses gentle movements and pressure to help your brain and body recover after a stroke. It's for people who recently had a stroke and have weakness on one side, and you will be asked to do special exercises guided by a therapist.
This study looks at how blood flow affects muscle function after a stroke. It may help researchers understand recovery better and find new ways to improve movement.
This study looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
This study tracks how muscles in the arm or leg change over time after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. The goal is to understand stiffness and structure so doctors can better treat recovery.
This 24-month study helps doctors improve how they treat muscle stiffness (spasticity) that develops after stroke. You'll work with a research team to track your recovery and test better ways to reduce stiffness and improve movement.
This study looks at how balance, arm function, and body awareness are related in people who have had a stroke. It may help understand how these factors affect recovery and daily life.
