Electrical stimulation with robot for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body.
- You can understand simple instructions and the purpose of the study.
- You can sit up for 60 minutes, with or without help.
- You have some muscle strength (grade 1 to 3) in your upper arm, forearm, and thumb on the affected side.
- You do not have epilepsy, a pacemaker, or other major medical conditions that could interfere.
- You are not pregnant and do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure.

This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This test combines a soft robotic hand and electrical stimulation to help improve hand movement in people recovering from a stroke. It may benefit stroke survivors who have some ability to extend their fingers and are in the early months of recovery.
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
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 study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
This study tests a robotic device that helps both arms work together to improve movement after a stroke. It may help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have some arm weakness.
