Medicine stick therapy for leg problems after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional medicine technique combined with a standard therapy to improve leg function in people who recently had their first stroke. It may help you walk and move better.

This trial tests whether combining two therapies—electroacupuncture (needles with mild electric current) and rTMS (a magnetic pulse to the brain)—can help you regain movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke less than 6 months ago and are still working on motor recovery.
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests whether combining two types of therapy—guided movement exercises and mild electrical stimulation of muscles—can help people recover strength and movement after a stroke. If you've had a recent stroke and can walk a little, this study may help you regain function.
This trial tests if applying mechanical pressure to the skin can improve leg muscle strength in people who have had a stroke. It may help if you can stand or walk, even with help.
This study tests if adding breathing exercises to physical therapy helps people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. It focuses on walking and lung strength to improve recovery.
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.
