Hand stimulation for thinking problems after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle, painless electrical stimulation on specific points on the hands to see if it helps improve thinking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke in the last 2 weeks to 6 months and are noticing some cognitive changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke happened between 2 weeks and 6 months ago.
- You have some memory or thinking problems since the stroke.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.
- You are able to follow instructions and answer questions.

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (using tiny electric pulses through thin needles) can help improve memory, focus, and thinking after a stroke. If you have mild to moderate thinking problems after a stroke, this treatment may help support your recovery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
This trial tests whether carefully targeted, noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain can improve arm and overall recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help by supporting brain relearning during the first weeks after stroke.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve walking and movement after a stroke. The procedure is non-invasive, meaning no surgery or implants.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
