HEMIPARESIS

This study tests whether combining task-oriented training with functional electrical stimulation (FES) can improve balance and ankle strength in children aged 6-9 with hemiparesis (weakness on one side). Thirty-six children will participate in a structured exercise program three …

This study tests whether combining two non-invasive therapies can improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least six months ago and have severe arm weakness. The therapies are a brain stimulation technique called rTMS and a device that uses electrical stimulation to op…

This study tests a new device called SSMD to help people with arm weakness after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. About 150 adults will use the device in supervised sessions over 5-6 weeks. The goal is to see if it improves arm movement better than standard electrical stimulat…

This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve heart rate variability and quality of life in people who have had a stroke. 44 participants will receive either real or sham rTMS for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this brain stimulation can…

This study compares a home-based telerehabilitation program (Tele-CPASS) to standard in-person therapy for improving arm and hand function after a stroke. Forty-two recent stroke survivors with arm weakness will be randomly assigned to receive 20 hours of either remote or in-pers…

This study is testing a device called SynPhNe that stroke survivors can use at home to retrain their hand function. The goal is to see if it improves hand movement compared to standard care alone. The study will include 40 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have mo…

This study tests whether a new AI-powered algorithm can improve how people with chronic arm weakness from a stroke control a robotic arm brace. Participants will use both the standard control method and the experimental algorithm while moving blocks. The goal is to see if the new…

This study is testing a device called MyHand 2 that helps people who have had a stroke use their affected hand better. The device is worn on the hand and assists with movement. Researchers want to see if it is easy to use and helpful for daily tasks. The study involves 60 adults …

This study looks at whether botulinum toxin type A injections can improve hand and leg function and quality of life in 30 children aged 8 to 17 with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Participants receive one injection and are followed for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this tr…

This study tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to the skin of the affected hand (called SAES) can improve hand function in children aged 6-18 with hemiparesis (one-sided weakness) due to cerebral palsy or stroke. 34 participants will be randomly assigned to receive…

This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called mirror-PAS, which combines visual and motor signals to promote brain plasticity. Researchers will compare it to standard brain stimulation in 36 people with stroke-related arm weakness or phantom limb pain. Th…

This study aims to better understand the link between motor (movement) and cognitive (thinking) problems in people with brain damage from conditions like cerebral palsy or stroke. Researchers will assess 400 participants aged 3 to 90 using robotic tools and standard tests. The go…

This study tests whether gentle muscle vibrations can help the brain form new connections after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Researchers will measure brain and spinal cord activity in 56 participants before, during, and after a 5-week vibration treatment. The goal is to un…

This study is working to create better methods for evaluating how children with and without stroke or cerebral palsy use their arms and hands. Researchers will observe 80 children, including those with perinatal stroke and typically developing infants, using video and play-based …

This study uses fMRI to look at brain and spinal cord activity in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Participants will perform a simple shoulder movement while being scanned. The goal is to understand which neural pathways are used for movement after a st…

This study looks at whether placebos—given openly or hidden—can change brain activity and improve movement in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Researchers will use brain scans and motor tests to measure effects. The goal is to understand how placebos work in the b…
