Brain stimulation plus sling exercise after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This clinical trial tests whether a new combination therapy (brain stimulation plus special sling exercises) improves arm and leg movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke within the last 6 months and are able to participate in rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a stroke (cerebrovascular disease) confirmed by a doctor.
- You should be between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your stroke must have happened within the last 6 months.
- You need to be alert, stable, and able to follow instructions for rehab exercises.
- You cannot have severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease, or uncontrolled health problems.
- You must not have epilepsy, metal in your head, or other conditions that make the brain stimulation unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
This early-phase trial tests whether brain stimulation (deep brain stimulation in the cerebellum or vagus nerve stimulation) can help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 3 years ago.
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This trial tests whether placing a small brain stimulator (deep brain stimulation) in a part of the brain called the dentate nucleus can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke 1-3 years ago and still have moderate to severe arm weakness.
