NCT ID NCT04992910
First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a device called Fesia Grasp, which uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate hand muscles, could help people recovering from a stroke. Sixteen participants with arm weakness received either FES therapy or standard physical therapy twice a week for six weeks. The main goals were to see if the device was safe, easy to use, and acceptable to patients.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could improve hand function recovery after stroke, offering a new rehabilitation option.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy is meant to aid rehabilitation, not cure stroke damage.
