Electrical stimulation for hand recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (applied through sticky pads on your forearm) helps improve hand movement and function after a recent stroke. It's designed for people in the subacute recovery phase.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or a bleed) in the subacute stage, meaning it happened a few weeks to a few months ago.
- Your age is between 40 and 60 years old.
- You do not have severe problems with thinking or memory.
- You do not have very stiff or tight muscles in your hand or arm that make it hard to move.

This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can improve hand movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It's designed for those whose first stroke affected the carotid artery area and who still have some hand tightness and weakness.
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 non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation with nerve gliding exercises can improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago. It may help you move your arm better and reduce stiffness.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can help improve hand and writing skills after a stroke or brain injury. If it works, it may help you regain better control of your hand movements.
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
