Ultrasound therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment that uses ultrasound pulses to help people recover after a stroke. It may improve movement or language abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You have had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain), confirmed by an MRI scan.
- Your stroke happened between 1 and 6 months ago.
- You have a certain level of stroke-related disability (NIHSS score 4-25).
- You have finished the initial hospital treatment for your stroke and your vital signs are stable.

This study tests a painless, non-invasive ultrasound treatment that stimulates the brain to help improve arm and leg movement after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can help people recover more function.
This study tests if focused ultrasound (a noninvasive sound wave therapy) can help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It is for people whose stroke occurred within the last three months and who still have some arm weakness.
This study uses a painless ultrasound test (called transcranial Doppler) to look at blood flow in the brain during the first 24 hours after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to see if the results can help predict how well patients will recover. If you join, you'll have the ultrasound and your recovery will be followed.
This study tests a new non-invasive therapy using low-intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate the brain area affected by a stroke, which may help improve arm weakness in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago.
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
This trial tests if starting supervised mobility early (within 48 hours) using Doppler ultrasound to guide care can help recovery in adults who just had a stroke caused by a clot. It may help you avoid complications and regain function sooner.
