Focused brain stimulation plus rehab for leg weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to stimulate the brain using harmless electric fields to help improve leg and foot movement after a stroke, while also doing standard physical therapy. It may help you regain strength and coordination in your lower body.

This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This trial is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may improve motor function when combined with rehabilitation.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique called tACS to standard arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 9 months ago. It aims to help those with lasting arm weakness.
This trial tests different types of non-invasive brain stimulation to see which one helps people recover better from stroke-related problems like arm weakness, leg weakness, neglect, or speaking difficulty.
This study tests a new combination treatment for people who had a stroke more than six months ago and still have arm weakness. It uses a gentle electrical current on the head (tDCS) along with a therapy that encourages use of the affected arm. The goal is to improve arm movement and daily function.
