Spinal cord stimulation and brain computer interface for arm recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with a brain-computer interface could help you regain arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who have plateaued in their recovery and have some remaining movement but still struggle with daily tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a single stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) that affected one side of your body, and it's been more than 6 months since it happened.
- You have some movement in your wrist or fingers on the weak side (at least a slight twitch).
- Your arm and hand function is moderately impaired, and it hasn't improved much in the last month.
- You are alert, able to understand simple instructions, and generally think clearly.
- You have no other major nerve or movement disorders, and you are able to have the surgery needed for the device.

This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
This trial combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
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 new way to combine brain stimulation with guided hand and arm exercises to help improve movement after a stroke. The treatment is personalized to your brain activity and may help you regain more use of your affected arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
