CHRONIC STROKE

This early-stage study at Johns Hopkins University is testing whether psilocybin, a psychedelic compound, is safe for people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The study will enroll 20 adults and closely monitor their blood pressure and any psychiatric changes. The goal is t…

This study tests a safe, non-invasive ear stimulation device (tVNS) paired with computer-based speech therapy for people with chronic aphasia after stroke. 36 participants will use the device at home for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and helps improve w…

This study compares two rehabilitation methods—Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and Bilateral Training—both combined with electrical stimulation, to see which better reduces wrist stiffness and improves hand function in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. About 11…

This study tests whether a wearable robotic arm brace (MyoPro) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have severe arm weakness. The brace reads muscle signals to assist movement during therapy. Researchers will compare therapy with the brace to therapy alone …

This study tests a new rehabilitation method called NICE for people who have had a stroke and have lasting arm weakness. About 48 adults aged 21 to 80 will use a machine that shows them how to activate specific muscle groups, helping improve coordination and movement. The goal is…

This study tests whether a training program that combines both touch (somatosensory) and movement (motor) exercises can help people with chronic stroke improve arm function better than either type of training alone. Researchers will enroll 153 participants who have had a stroke a…

This study looks at whether robot-assisted walking training can help people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve thigh muscle thickness, balance, and walking ability. 30 participants will use a robotic device during gait training, and their progress will be …

This study tests whether using a home-based electrical stimulation device along with specific exercises can improve walking, balance, and mobility in adults who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. Thirty participants will use the device at home for 12 weeks while doing task-spec…

This study looks at how nutrition (measured by the CONUT score) is linked to balance and daily function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers will assess balance, muscle thickness, and bone density in 47 adults. The goal is to understand if better nutritio…

This study tests whether personalized transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help people recover from a stroke. Researchers will measure brain connectivity changes in 80 adults who had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The goal is to see if this tailored brain stimulati…
