High-intensity exercise for post-stroke fatigue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to reduce fatigue after a stroke. If you often feel tired and have had a stroke in the past 6 months to 5 years, this program may help you regain energy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You had an ischemic stroke (blocked blood vessel) 6 months to 5 years ago that caused weakness on one side of the body.
- You have felt unusually tired or low on energy for at least 2 weeks in the past month.
- You can walk 10 meters with or without a cane or walker.
- You are generally healthy enough for exercise, with no heart, lung, or metabolic conditions that would make exercise unsafe.

This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods—can help improve walking, balance, and daily function in people who have had a stroke. It is for adults who are 50 to 80 years old, had their first stroke 1 to 5 years ago, and can walk at least 10 meters on their own.
This trial tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and a talking therapy program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve energy and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This trial tests a multidimensional program to reduce fatigue in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may help you feel less tired and improve your daily life.
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
This study compares two types of exercise training to see which one better improves heart health, movement, and thinking skills in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who had a moderate stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk with some help.
This study tests whether a short, high-intensity interval exercise program is safe and practical for people who are recovering from a stroke during inpatient rehabilitation. You will be asked to do short bursts of exercise on a recumbent stepper, with rest periods, while your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored.
