Tolerability of nerve stimulation for childhood stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle electrical device placed on the ear can help children and teens who had a stroke and now have arm weakness. It looks at how well people tolerate the device while also doing occupational therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke between 29 days old and 18 years old.
- It’s been at least 6 months since the stroke.
- You have weakness or trouble using one arm because of the stroke.
- You can join in occupational therapy sessions.
- You do not have metal or electronic implants in your head (like a cochlear implant or brain stimulator), and if you had skull surgery, the bone is back in place.

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 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 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 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 trial tests if a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your ear can help improve arm function after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke 1 to 4 weeks ago and have some arm weakness but were otherwise independent before the stroke.
