CHRONIC STROKE

This pilot study tests a safe, non-invasive ear stimulation device (tVNS) paired with computer speech therapy for people with long-term word-finding problems after a stroke. 36 participants will use the device at home for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, …

This study is testing whether robot-assisted gait training can improve leg muscle thickness, balance, and walking ability in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers will enroll 30 participants and measure changes using walking tests, balance scales, and ultraso…

This study tests whether a training program that combines sensory (touch) and motor (movement) exercises can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke at least six months ago. Researchers will compare this combined training to either sensory training alone or …

This study tests a new rehabilitation approach called NICE for people who have had a stroke and have arm weakness. The method uses a computer screen to guide patients to activate specific muscle groups, aiming to improve arm movement and coordination. About 48 adults aged 21-80 w…

This study tests whether a wearable robotic arm brace (MyoPro) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have severe arm weakness. The brace uses muscle signals to assist movement during therapy. The goal is to see if using the brace leads to better arm function…

This study compares two rehabilitation methods—Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and Bilateral Training—both combined with electrical stimulation, to see which better improves wrist stiffness and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 94 adults aged 18-…

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to leg muscles can improve balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. Twenty participants with chronic stroke will walk on different surfaces and experience simulated slips or trips, with and without the s…

This study tests whether a 12-week home program using mild electrical pulses to leg muscles, combined with practice of daily tasks, can improve walking, balance, and mobility in adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Thirty participants will use a device and tablet at hom…

This early-stage study at Johns Hopkins University is testing whether psilocybin, a psychedelic compound, is safe for people who had a stroke at least one year ago. The study will enroll 20 adults and closely monitor their blood pressure and any psychiatric changes. The goal is t…

This study looks at how nutrition (measured by a score called CONUT) is linked to balance and daily function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers will also check muscle thickness, arm size, and bone density. The goal is to understand these connections, no…

This study tests whether personalized transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help people with chronic stroke regain arm function. Researchers will use brain scans to see if the stimulation improves connections in the brain. The study involves 80 adults who had a strok…
