Cerebellar-spinal brain stimulation for chronic stroke mobility
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the back of the head and spine can improve walking and movement for people who have had a stroke more than six months ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called trans-spinal magnetic stimulation to help improve walking and movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those with trouble walking and are at least 6 months past their stroke.
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
This trial is testing whether a gentle electrical current (tsDCS) applied to the back of the head, along with physical therapy, can help improve movement and function in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury that happened more than a year ago.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can improve your ability to walk while doing a second task, like talking or carrying something. It is for people who have had a stroke and can walk on their own.
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 tests whether stimulating the brain and spinal cord together can help people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury. It also includes a healthy control group for comparison.
