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 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 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.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to specific brain areas can improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. The treatment is non-invasive (no surgery) and aims to help with the cognitive difficulties that often follow a stroke.
This trial studies if using two types of brain stimulation (safe electrical and magnetic pulses) can help improve thinking and movement after a stroke. If you are still having memory or concentration issues, this might help you recover more function.
