Electrical stimulation and nerve gliding for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) at least 3 months ago.
- You have weakness on one side of your body, especially in your arm, with moderate movement difficulty.
- You are medically stable and can participate in physical therapy.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.
- You have no broken bones, joint tightness, skin allergies, or open wounds on your arm where the electrodes would go.
- You have not had physical therapy in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This trial tests whether combining a specialized movement therapy (SBMT) with electrical nerve stimulation (NMES) can help improve upper arm and hand function in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients 3–6 months after their stroke, when recovery potential is still strong.
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 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 trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
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.
