How stroke affects body awareness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a stroke changes your ability to feel and understand signals from your own body, like hunger or heartbeat. Researchers want to learn more about this so they can help with recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the brain and body awareness change after a first stroke. It may help researchers understand why some people feel different about their body, which could guide future therapies.
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 looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
This study looks at how nutrition affects recovery in people who had a stroke within the last 6 months. It aims to help improve rehabilitation by checking your nutritional status.
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.
