Electrical stimulation for hand and writing skills after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can help improve hand and writing skills after a stroke or brain injury. If it works, it may help you regain better control of your hand movements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke or a traumatic brain injury at least one month ago.
- You have trouble with fine hand movements, like writing by hand.
- You can attend one-hour sessions once a week for 8 weeks.
- You do not have heart disease, a pacemaker, blood clots, seizures, or reduced feeling in your affected arm or hand.

This study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation (applied through sticky pads on your forearm) helps improve hand movement and function after a recent stroke. It's designed for people in the subacute recovery phase.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can improve hand movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It's designed for those whose first stroke affected the carotid artery area and who still have some hand tightness and weakness.
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.
