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.

- 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.

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 therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their 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 a brain implant that may help you move your arm better after a stroke. It focuses on people with moderate to severe arm weakness who still have some movement in their elbow or fingers.
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.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called PCMS to see if it can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It uses magnetic pulses to boost the brain's ability to control your arm.
