Wearable electrical stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to help reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) in people who have had a stroke. It aims to see if this device can improve walking and movement right away during a single session.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had a stroke confirmed by a doctor
- You can walk on your own without help from another person
- You have some muscle tightness or stiffness (spasticity) in your arms or legs
- You are able to think clearly (score 24 or higher on a mental screening test)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 study tests a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the lower back to see if it helps people who have trouble walking or moving their leg after a stroke. The goal is to improve balance and mobility.
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.
