This study tests a treatment using high-frequency electrical stimulation to reduce overactive nerve signals that can cause stiff legs, poor ankle control, cramps, or restless legs. It may help improve movement and comfort during walking or at night, depending on the condition.
This trial tests if a mild electrical current applied to the skin can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is for those with significant arm weakness who are not currently in regular therapy.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation (TENS) applied to the leg muscles and nerve clusters can improve blood flow behind the knee. It looks at immediate effects and might help understand better ways to support circulation.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical nerve stimulation treatment (called TENS) can help improve arm and hand function after a recent stroke. If you have some movement on your weaker side, this may help you recover better.
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 trial tests whether painless electrical nerve stimulation placed on the skin can improve thinking (cognitive function) and arm movement in people living with long-term stroke. If you qualify, you may receive this non-drug therapy and be assessed for changes in memory/thinking and upper-limb movement.
