NCT ID NCT07272239

First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a gentle nerve stimulation (tVNS) combined with a special hand therapy (mCIMT) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve arm movement, thinking, and quality of life. Fifty participants will be split into two groups: one gets both treatments plus standard therapy, the other gets only hand therapy and standard therapy. The goal is to see if adding nerve stimulation boosts recovery beyond therapy alone.
