First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) to task-oriented training helps stroke survivors with arm spasticity regain more movement than training alone. All participants receive Botox for spasticity first. The trial will enroll 40 adults who have had a stroke and have some remaining arm movement. The goal is to see if the combined approach improves dexterity and strength better than standard rehabilitation.
