Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a four-channel electrical stimulation device works better than a standard one-channel device for improving arm and hand movement in people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to help with recovery of daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your first ischemic stroke (a clot-caused stroke) and it was between 7 days and 6 months ago
- Your arm weakness is moderate—you can still move your arm a bit but not fully
- You were able to take care of yourself and do household tasks before the stroke
- You are 18 to 99 years old
- You do not have any implanted devices like a pacemaker or defibrillator

This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied to the skin can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is for those with significant arm weakness who are not currently in regular therapy.
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.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
