NCT ID NCT07113457

First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a specific breathing method, called acute intermittent hypoxia (brief periods of low oxygen), can improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers will measure arm strength and reflexes in 20 participants to understand how the breathing technique affects the brain and movement. The goal is not to cure stroke, but to learn more about how this approach might help recovery.
