Brain stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have had your first stroke at least 2 weeks ago but no longer than 5 years ago.
- You must be able to walk on your own, with or without a cane or walker.
- You must have no metal implants in your head, no pacemaker, and no cochlear implant.
- You must not have epilepsy, seizures, or unstable medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a gentle electrical current applied to the head can improve blood flow in the brain and help with walking after a stroke. You would receive a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment during the study.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It compares the effects of the treatment in stroke survivors and healthy adults to see if it can enhance recovery.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
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.
