Hidden nerve damage may hinder stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT07685691
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at whether people who have paralysis on one side after a stroke also have hidden nerve problems in their arms or legs. Researchers will use nerve tests and movement assessments to see how common these nerve issues are and whether they relate to how well a person can move and function. The goal is to better understand the role of peripheral nerves in stroke recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If nerve problems are found to be common, this could point toward adding nerve tests to stroke rehab to improve recovery plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center observational study, so findings may not apply to all stroke patients. It does not test any treatment.

Who is studied
Adults with unilateral hemiplegia secondary to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke who were recruited from the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at a single tertiary care center. All participants underwent standardized nerve conduction studies and clinical assessments according to the study protocol.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (≥18 years of age). * Unilateral hemiplegia secondary to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage. * Ability to undergo standardized nerve conduction studies and clinical assessments. * Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Bilateral hemiplegia. * Hemiplegia secondary to benign or malignant intracranial tumors. * Upper or lower extremity fracture, amputation, skin lesions preventing electrophysiological testing, or diagnosed peripheral vascular disease. * Concomitant neurological disorders that may affect motor function or peripheral nerve conduction (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, encephalitis). * Contraindications to nerve conduction studies (e.g., cardiac pacemaker or inability to safely undergo the examination). * Inability to cooperate with or tolerate nerve conduction studies.
