Augmented reality + electrical stimulation for hand grasp
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system 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 study tests a device called Spatial StimelMD that combines electrical stimulation and augmented reality to help people with arm or hand weakness caused by a stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, or nerve injury within the last 2 years. It aims to see if it is safe and can improve movement.
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 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.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation can help improve arm and hand function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It involves training exercises combined with stimulation to see if this approach can strengthen your arms and hands.
