NCT ID NCT05465005
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how activating muscles changes the way people who have had a stroke perceive touch. Researchers will measure the smallest electrical pulse that can be felt on the fingertips while muscles are at rest and while they are active. The goal is to better understand touch problems after stroke, which can affect everyday tasks like holding a cup.
