Brain stimulation for walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a gentle electrical current applied to the head can improve blood flow in the brain and help with walking after a stroke. You would receive a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had one stroke (not more than one)
- The stroke happened between 2 weeks and 5 years ago
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You can walk on your own, with or without a cane or walker
- You have no metal implants, pacemaker, or cochlear implant

This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can improve your ability to walk while doing a second task, like talking or carrying something. It is for people who have had a stroke and can walk on their own.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It compares the effects of the treatment in stroke survivors and healthy adults to see if it can enhance recovery.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation can help people with chronic stroke improve their stepping and walking. If you have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk with or without a device, and have some leg weakness, this study may be for you.
