New device and electrical stimulation for leg recovery after stroke
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses small electrical pulses to help improve leg movement after a stroke. It's for people who still have some movement in their affected leg and can participate in therapy sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or a bleed) that affected your leg movement.
- You can still move your affected leg a little, like pushing it forward or straightening it.
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal implants in your leg.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow instructions.
- You do not have serious health issues like severe arthritis, liver or kidney disease, or unstable heart conditions.

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 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 tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
This trial tests whether combining blood flow restriction with mild electrical nerve stimulation can improve ankle and leg movement after a stroke. It may help you if you had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
This study tests a home-based device that uses small electrical pulses to help activate weak leg muscles in people who have had a stroke. It aims to improve leg function and recovery, with the convenience of doing therapy at home using a smartphone app.
This study tests if two non-invasive treatments — gentle electrical stimulation on the skin and brief pressure cycles on the leg — can improve how well you walk and move after having a lower limb amputation. You would visit the research lab several times to receive these treatments and have your walking, balance, and strength measured.
