Augmented reality + electrical stimulation for hand grasp
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a system that combines a video-like overlay (augmented reality) with small electrical pulses to help you grasp objects. It may improve your hand function and control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a chronic spinal cord injury in your neck area (cervical spine).
- You can still pick up and hold objects, but it's clearly harder than before.
- You do not have any other health condition or injury that affects your grip.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electrical device.
- Your hand muscles must respond to mild electrical stimulation to help with grasping.

This trial helps people with recent traumatic spinal cord injury improve arm movement and trunk (upper body) stability using a training program that includes electrical stimulation. If you’re early after injury and can safely use stimulation, you may benefit from more controlled movement for daily tasks.
This trial tests whether starting arm and hand rehabilitation exercises earlier (within 3 months of your injury) can improve recovery. You'll receive a combination of functional electrical stimulation and task-specific training to help strengthen your arms and hands.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This study tests whether applying gentle electrical stimulation to the brain and spinal cord can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. The stimulation is non-invasive, meaning it is done from the outside without surgery, and is combined with hand training exercises.
