Device using electromagnetic fields to aid arm recovery after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called the 'Q Therapeutic System' that uses a special electromagnetic field to help people with chronic stroke recover arm and hand function. The treatment is given during therapy sessions, and the study aims to see if it's safe and effective in improving movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 18 to 80
- Stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain, and it's been between 6 months and 5 years since your stroke
- Some movement in your affected arm, but it's limited (your arm function is not changing much)
- Able to pick up at least 1 block with your affected hand in 60 seconds
- Able to sit for 40 minutes and follow simple instructions
- Have a caregiver or someone to help you during sessions and visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
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-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
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.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
