Nerve stimulation during arm therapy for childhood stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device (worn on the ear) during arm therapy to see if it helps children and teens recover arm function after a childhood stroke. The stimulation is designed to be safe and comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child had a stroke during childhood (between 29 days and 18 years old).
- The stroke happened at least 6 months ago.
- Your child has weakness in one arm, and we can measure it.
- Your child does not have certain metal implants in the head (like a cochlear implant or brain stimulator).
- Your child can take part in therapy sessions.

This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. The stimulation is gentle and applied to the ear, aiming to aid recovery.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 5 years and still have arm weakness.
This trial tests whether combining two types of nerve stimulation (one on the ear, one on the arm) can improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have some but not full use of their affected arm.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve in the ear can improve arm and hand recovery when combined with physical therapy. It is for people who had a stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm weakness but can still move their arm a little.
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation technique that may help improve arm weakness after a recent stroke. It is a safe way to activate the vagus nerve, which could boost recovery.
