Touch sensing study for young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the brain processes touch signals sent through small electrodes on the skin. It compares young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors to understand how stroke affects touch perception and could help improve sensory rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can feel touch in your hands and fingers
- You do not have a pacemaker
- You have not been diagnosed with major mental health conditions (like severe depression, schizophrenia, or dementia)
- If you are a stroke survivor, you must have had a stroke confirmed by a CT scan or MRI
- If you are a stroke survivor, you should have trouble sensing body position (proprioception)

This study measures how your body processes a touch signal from your hand to your brain. It compares healthy young adults and people with stroke to understand how the nervous system changes after a stroke.
This study tests if using a special device to feel different textures can help improve hand and arm recovery in people who have had a stroke.
This study tests a special glove that helps measure how well you can feel touch after a stroke. It's for people who had a single stroke within the last 6 months and have some thinking and memory ability.
This early-stage study tests whether special sensory feedback (like touch or vibration on your hand) can help improve hand movement and coordination in people recovering from stroke. Researchers want to understand how the brain relearns hand control.
This study looks at how your sense of touch helps your arm and hand get better after a stroke. You will do tasks and have brain scans to understand recovery, which may help future treatments.
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.
