HEMIPARESIS

This study tests whether combining non-invasive brain stimulation (rTMS) with a special electrical stimulation therapy (CCFES) can improve arm and hand function in people who had a severe stroke at least 6 months ago. The therapy aims to excite the undamaged side of the brain to …

This study tests a device called SSMD to see if it helps adults with arm weakness from stroke or traumatic brain injury. About 150 participants will get either SSMD therapy plus standard rehab or standard electrical stimulation plus rehab. The goal is to measure improvements in a…

This study is testing a device called SynPhNe that stroke survivors can use at home to retrain their hand and arm movement. The goal is to see if it works better than standard care alone. About 40 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate hand weakness will …

This study tests whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to standard rehabilitation can improve heart rate variability (a sign of healthy heart control) in 44 stroke survivors. Participants will receive …

This study looks at whether botulinum toxin type A injections can improve hand and leg function and quality of life in 30 children aged 8-17 with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Participants receive the injection and are assessed before, at 4 weeks, and at 12 weeks after. The…

This study tests a wearable hand orthosis called MyHand 2 for stroke survivors who have weakness on one side. The goal is to improve hand function and daily activities. Researchers will refine the device based on feedback from 60 adult participants who had a stroke at least six m…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called 'mirror-PAS' to help people who have had a stroke or suffer from phantom limb pain. The goal is to see if this method can improve movement in stroke patients and reduce pain in those with phantom limb pa…

This study tests whether adding a gentle electrical stimulation glove to standard therapy can improve hand and arm function in children aged 6-18 with hemiparesis (weakness on one side). Participants will use the glove at home for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. Res…

This study looks at how placebos (inactive treatments) affect the brains of people recovering from stroke. Researchers will give placebos openly or secretly to 56 adults with chronic stroke and measure brain activity with EEG. The goal is to understand how placebos work in the br…

This study aims to create better methods for measuring arm and hand movements in infants, including those with perinatal stroke or cerebral palsy. Researchers will analyze video recordings and developmental tests from 80 children (8-36 months old) to build a new assessment tool c…

This study looks at how movement and thinking skills are connected in people with brain damage from conditions like cerebral palsy or stroke. Researchers will use a robotic tool to measure arm movements and thinking tasks in 400 participants aged 3 to 90. The goal is to better un…

This study tests whether gentle muscle vibrations can help the brain form new connections after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Researchers will measure brain and nerve activity in 56 participants before, during, and after a 5-week vibration treatment. The goal is to understa…

This study is testing whether new computer algorithms and more sensors can improve how a robotic arm brace responds to muscle signals. About 45 people who have arm weakness from a stroke will try two different control methods while wearing the brace. The goal is to see which meth…

This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and spinal cord activity in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Researchers want to understand which nerve pathways the brain uses to move the shoulder. The goal is to learn more about how movement is controlled a…
