NCT ID NCT07513714
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding gentle electrical stimulation to arm exercises helps stroke survivors with muscle tightness regain better use of their affected arm. About 40 adults who have had a stroke and received Botox for arm spasticity will be randomly assigned to either standard task training or task training plus electrical stimulation. The goal is to see if the combination leads to greater improvements in hand function and strength.
