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 trial tests a new treatment called transcranial focused ultrasound—sound waves aimed at specific brain areas—to help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this non-invasive technique can help you regain motor function during recovery.
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 trial studies whether using ultrasound on a shoulder nerve (the suprascapular nerve) and guided shoulder movement exercises can improve shoulder motion in people after a stroke. It may help if your biggest problem is pain and limited shoulder movement after stroke.
This study uses an ultrasound test of the brain's blood vessels within 24 hours of a stroke to see how well patients recover. It may help doctors better understand your recovery and plan your care.
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 trial tests a new 3D ultrasound technique to get clearer images of blood flow in the brain after a stroke, which could help doctors better understand and treat the damage.
