Vibration Devices to Improve Arm Movement After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing small vibrating devices on your arm can help improve movement and function in the arm weakened by stroke. The vibrations may help retrain your brain and muscles to work together better during the recovery period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that caused weakness on one side of your body (within the last 3 to 6 months)
- You are between 30 and 60 years old
- Your arm has some movement ability (not completely paralyzed, but not fully recovered)
- You can understand and follow simple spoken instructions
- You do not have nerve damage, fractures, or previous surgery affecting your weak arm
- You do not have other neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
This study tests a small vibrating device worn on the leg that gives you gentle buzzes to help you walk better after a stroke. It may improve your balance and confidence when walking.
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
This study tests a soft elbow brace and a vibrating armband to help people with stroke or Parkinson's disease improve arm movement. It's designed for people with mild-to-moderate arm weakness.
This study tests whether gentle vibration applied to the shoulder can reduce pain after a stroke. If you have ongoing shoulder pain on your stroke-affected side, this treatment might help improve your comfort and movement.
This trial tests a virtual-reality training system that uses muscle signals to help people regain arm movement after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke within the last 2 weeks and have arm weakness.
