Touch sensation study for strokes and aging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how well people can feel small electrical pulses on their fingertips. It compares young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors to understand changes in touch perception.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have some feeling in your hands or fingers
- You are 19 years or older
- For stroke survivors: you had a stroke that affected your sense of touch or body awareness
- You do not have a pacemaker
- You do not have severe memory loss, confusion, or trouble communicating (for stroke group)

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 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 study looks at how feeling and movement in your hand recover after a stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans and simple hand tasks to understand why some people recover better than others, which might help design better rehab treatments.
