HEMIPLEGIA

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 non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (TAVNS) to see if it can improve breathing muscle strength in people who had a stroke 1-3 years ago. Researchers will measure lung function in 50 participants before and after treatment. The goal is …

This study compares two modern therapies—mirror therapy and virtual reality (VR)—to see which one better improves arm function in people with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) after a stroke. Forty-two adults aged 18 to 75 who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago will be randomly ass…

This study tests a device implanted in the body to help people who have had a stroke walk more easily. It includes 6 participants who are at least 6 months past their stroke and have trouble walking. The device is set up and tested over several months to see if it improves walkin…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can improve balance, walking, and leg movement in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. Researchers will also look at how the brain changes during recovery. The trial involves 56 adults wi…

This study tests whether a special flossband wrap can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement, function, and sleep in people who have had a stroke and have shoulder pain on one side. About 40 adults aged 30 to 55 who are at least 6 months post-stroke will take part. Researchers…

This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation (taVNS) combined with intensive hand therapy can improve arm function in infants aged 8-24 months who have one-sided weakness (hemiplegia) from a brain injury. Ten infants will receive 40 hours of therapy over two weeks. Researc…

This early-stage study tests a new exercise called CUped, which uses a robotic device to help stroke survivors recover leg movement and improve walking. The goal is to see if it is safe, tolerable, and effective for 12 adults who have had a stroke. The exercise is done while sitt…

This study tests two therapies—kinesio taping and PNF (a type of stretching)—to see which better helps stroke survivors regain hand function. About 54 adults who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago will receive one or both treatments 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Researchers will measur…

This study tests a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to freeze specific nerves in the shoulder, to see if it relieves pain and improves movement in people with spasticity (muscle tightness) after stroke, brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It compares the freezing…

This study compares three types of non-invasive brain stimulation combined with hand therapy to see which best helps stroke survivors regain the ability to open their affected hand. About 63 adults who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago will participate. The goal is to find a more e…

This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with a soft robotic glove helps stroke survivors with arm weakness regain hand function. About 104 adults who had a first stroke and have moderate arm impairment will be randomly assigned to different therapy groups. The goal is t…

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. Researchers will also look at how the brain changes with this treatment. The study involves 48 adults with l…

This study looks back at the medical records of 34 people with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) who received botulinum toxin injections between 2017 and 2020. The goal is to understand which muscles were injected and what doses were used, and how those choices affec…
