Wearable electrical stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to help improve muscle control and reduce stiffness after a stroke. It may help people who can walk but have spasticity (tight or stiff muscles).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a stroke by a doctor.
- You can walk on your own without help.
- You have some muscle stiffness or tightness (spasticity).
- You have good mental clarity, as measured by a short thinking test.
- You have not had a stroke more than once, and you have not had botox injections or surgery for spasticity in the last 6 months.

This study tests whether wearing a special suit (Mollii) that sends gentle electrical pulses to the body can help improve movement, balance, and daily life for people who have had a stroke or have multiple sclerosis. The suit is meant to calm overactive muscles and help you move better.
This trial sets up a database to follow routine health and mobility outcomes over time. You may be included if you have certain neurological conditions and can safely use the EXOPULSE suit.
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.
This trial studies whether assisted walking training with an exoskeleton can improve recovery after stroke, especially for walking and daily function. You may be offered therapy once you are medically stable, able to stand, and able to participate safely.
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the back of the head to see if it can improve walking and leg movement in people who have had a stroke. It may help you move better and regain function.
This study tests a special suit (called the EXOPULSE Mollii suit) to see if it can help reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have spasticity and can walk without help, this might be an option to explore.
