Brain-controlled stimulation to improve arm and leg movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new brain-controlled device that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord to help restore arm and leg movement after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 9 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body, this may help you regain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a stroke (affecting deeper brain areas) between 9 months and 10 years ago
- Have weakness or paralysis on one side of your body (arm and/or leg)
- Can stand for at least 30 seconds, with or without help
- Have completed standard stroke rehabilitation already
- Able to understand and speak French or English
- Willing to have minor surgery to implant the stimulation device

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.
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 implant that may help you move your arm better after a stroke. It focuses on people with moderate to severe arm weakness who still have some movement in their elbow or fingers.
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 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 whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
