NCT ID NCT06231810
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks how a touch signal on the finger travels through the nervous system to the brain. Researchers will apply different force levels to the finger and measure when people first feel it, along with brain activity using fMRI. The study includes 60 people: young adults, stroke survivors, and similar-aged healthy adults. The goal is to understand how stroke affects touch perception.
