Home video therapy for severe stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new therapy done at home via video calls can help people with severe, long-lasting stroke regain leg movement and walking ability. If you have trouble walking or moving your leg on one side, this may be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a single stroke that affected only one side of your brain.
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago (chronic).
- Your stroke has caused severe leg weakness or trouble walking a short distance.
- You are able to understand instructions and give consent.
- You do not have metal implants in your head/face, a pacemaker, or a history of seizures.
- Your skin is healthy where stimulation pads would be placed (no rashes, infections, or sores).

This study tests a therapy program done at home using video calls to help improve hand function after a stroke. It may help you regain better use of your hand if you had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
This study compares a home-based motor relearning program with standard physical therapy delivered through video calls, to see which helps stroke survivors improve movement and function better. It may be a good option if you had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago and have access to a device with internet.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program (via video or app) to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some physical weakness. It aims to improve strength and movement without needing to travel to a clinic.
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
This trial tests a home-based program that combines physical therapy with computer-based cognitive exercises for stroke survivors. It aims to see if this combined approach improves recovery more than standard physical therapy alone.
This trial tests whether using a mirror together with mild electrical stimulation on the skin can improve lower-limb movement after stroke. You may be eligible if you can already lift your ankle a bit and walk independently, and if certain thinking, vision, and skin issues are not present.
