NCT ID NCT07612397
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether clenching your jaw can immediately improve walking and movement in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Thirty participants will either clench their teeth on cotton rolls or keep their jaw relaxed, then take walking and balance tests. The goal is to see if this simple action can help with gait and functional mobility.
