Moving your arm after stroke or TBI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old.
- Had a stroke or traumatic brain injury within the past year.
- Have significant arm or hand weakness that makes daily tasks hard.
- Be willing and able to attend study visits and follow instructions.
- Not have any implanted devices like a pacemaker or insulin pump, or conditions like epilepsy or extreme light sensitivity.
- Not be pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.

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 trial tests functional electrical stimulation (FES)—a technique that uses mild electrical pulses to help activate arm muscles—combined with training to improve upper limb function and reduce stiffness after stroke. It may help you regain better movement and control in your arm.
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 trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique can improve hand and arm function in people whose stroke happened more than 12 months ago. It may help if you have mild-to-moderate hand weakness and can follow training instructions.
This trial tests if a device placed near the spinal cord can help improve movement, feeling, and pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had one stroke and have weakness on one side of the body.
