Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive tongue stimulation device can boost arm recovery in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 74 participants will receive either real or fake tongue stimulation while doing arm exercises for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in arm movement, daily function, and brain activity to see if this approach helps rewire the brain.
