Sensory aids and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if adding sensory aids or brain stimulation can improve arm and hand movement for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It may help if you have some movement but not full use of your arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke (blocked blood vessel) that affected the middle part of your brain.
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago.
- You are between 45 and 65 years old.
- You have some hand and arm movement, but not full control.
- You are willing to follow the study instructions.

This study tests whether a combination of two therapies—gentle nerve stimulation on the ear and a special hand movement training—can help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke on the left side of the brain and still have significant arm weakness.
This early-stage study tests whether special sensory feedback (like touch or vibration on your hand) can help improve hand movement and coordination in people recovering from stroke. Researchers want to understand how the brain relearns hand control.
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 whether combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
This study tests a hands-on sensory training approach that uses signals from one sense to help your brain control your arm and hand after stroke. It may help improve grip and arm steadiness, especially for people who still have mild-to-moderate arm weakness more than 6 months after a stroke.
This trial tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and a brain-computer interface that lets you control a device with your thoughts. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some movement in their wrist or fingers but need help improving arm function.
