HEMIPARESIS

This study is testing whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help people recover from a stroke. Researchers want to see if adding this treatment to standard rehab improves heart function, muscle strength, and quality of life. They are looking for 44 adult…

This study is testing a new combination therapy to help people with severe arm and hand paralysis after a stroke. It combines a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with a special type of electrical muscle stimulation therapy (CCFES) to try to improve movement and func…

This study is testing whether adding a special electrical stimulation therapy to standard hand therapy can improve arm and hand function in children with hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body). Children aged 6-18 will use a glove or electrodes at home for 30 minutes a day…

This study is testing whether injections of botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) can improve how children with a specific type of cerebral palsy use their arms and legs and their overall quality of life. Researchers will follow 30 children, aged 8 to 17, for 12 weeks after their injections t…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people recover hand movement after a stroke and reduce pain in a missing limb (phantom limb pain). Researchers will compare a new method, which pairs watching hand movements with brain stimulation, to a…

This study is testing a new rehabilitation device called the SSMD to see if it helps improve arm and hand movement in adults recovering from a stroke or traumatic brain injury. About 150 participants will be randomly assigned to use either the new SSMD device or a standard electr…

This study is testing a new tablet app designed to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. The app uses games that require patients to coordinate both hands together in specific rhythms. Researchers want to see if this type of training improves coordination and makes dai…

This study aims to create better tools for measuring how babies use their arms and hands. Researchers will analyze videos of children, including some who had a stroke around birth and some who are developing typically, to understand movement patterns. The goal is to develop a new…

This study aims to understand how the brain responds to placebo treatments during stroke recovery. Researchers will examine 56 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago, using brain scans to measure activity during different types of placebo treatments. The goal is to learn h…

This study uses special brain scans to see how stroke survivors' brains control arm movement. Researchers want to understand which brain pathways are used after a stroke causes arm weakness. This knowledge could help design better physical therapy exercises to improve recovery.
