This study is testing if a new combination of therapies helps stroke survivors regain movement in their paralyzed limbs. It will compare standard rehab to rehab plus magnetic brain stimulation, and rehab plus brain stimulation combined with special blood flow restriction training…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called rTMS, can boost the benefits of standard physical therapy for people recovering from a stroke. It will compare real magnetic stimulation to a fake (sham) version in 66 patients who have had a first s…

This study is testing a simple clinical tool to help doctors accurately identify the specific type of muscle stiffness (like spasticity or dystonia) that stroke survivors experience. The tool, previously used for children with cerebral palsy, will be evaluated in 60 adults who ha…

This study aims to find out which type of robot-assisted walking training works better for people recovering from a stroke. It will compare a robot that allows free hip movement to one that restricts it, looking at improvements in walking pattern, balance, and confidence. Thirty-…

This study aims to see if adding a second type of electrical stimulation (NMES) to a common pain therapy (TENS) works better for reducing shoulder pain after a stroke. Researchers will compare the two approaches in 40 stroke survivors who have shoulder pain. They will measure cha…

This study is testing whether adding a summary of foot pressure information to a standard robot-assisted walking training program helps people who have had a stroke walk more evenly and improve their balance. Researchers will compare two groups of adult stroke patients over four …

This study is testing if a specific type of nerve block can help reduce shoulder pain and improve movement for people who have had a stroke. The nerve block, which uses ultrasound guidance to target pain signals around the shoulder joint, will be given alongside standard physical…

This study tests whether adding a special elastic tape to standard rehab helps stroke patients improve balance, movement, and daily activities. 60 stroke survivors will be randomly assigned to receive either standard rehab alone or standard rehab plus the tape. Researchers will m…

This study is testing if combining two rehabilitation methods—mirror therapy and a soft robotic glove—works better than either method alone to help people recover hand and arm function after a stroke. Researchers will compare the new combined approach to standard therapy and the …
