Electric suit may loosen stiff muscles in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07459361
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special suit that delivers mild electrical pulses can quickly reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people who have had a stroke. Twenty-six participants will wear the suit for one hour and be compared to a control group receiving minimal stimulation. Researchers will measure changes in spasticity, walking, and arm function right before and after the session.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
EXOPULSE Mollii Suit (wearable electrical stimulation device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to temporarily ease muscle stiffness and improve walking and arm use after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial testing only a single session, so any benefits may be short-lived or not apply to all stroke survivors. The control group also gets some stimulation, which may blur results.
