HEMIPLEGIA

This study is testing a new combination therapy for infants (8-24 months old) who have weakness on one side of their body, often an early sign of cerebral palsy. Researchers will pair a gentle nerve stimulation treatment (taVNS) with intensive hand-and-arm play therapy (CIMT) to …

This study is testing if adding a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation to hand therapy helps people recover hand movement after a stroke. It will compare three different types of stimulation over 12 weeks of therapy. The goal is to see which approach, if any, leads to better re…

This study is testing whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help improve arm and leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. About 48 participants will receive either the real brain stimulation or a fake version, followed by physi…

This study is testing if a procedure that freezes specific nerves in the shoulder works as well as standard Botox injections for reducing pain and improving movement. It involves 50 adults with shoulder pain and stiffness (spasticity) caused by conditions like stroke, multiple sc…

This study is testing a new combination therapy to help people with severe arm and hand paralysis after a stroke. It combines a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with a special type of electrical muscle stimulation therapy (CCFES) to try to improve movement and func…

This study is testing a new robotic exercise called CUped designed to help stroke survivors recover leg movement and improve walking. Twelve participants will use a special pedaling machine that forces the weaker leg to work while sitting, followed by walking practice. Researcher…

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive magnetic stimulation to the brain can help people who had a stroke more than six months ago improve their walking, balance, and leg movement. Participants will receive either the real stimulation or a fake version, followed by …

This study compares two modern rehabilitation techniques—mirror therapy and virtual reality (VR) therapy—to see which provides better immediate improvement in arm function for stroke survivors with partial paralysis (hemiplegia). Forty-two participants who had a stroke 6-12 month…

This study is testing whether a surgically implanted electrical stimulator can help people walk better after a stroke. Six participants who are at least six months post-stroke and have difficulty walking will have the device implanted. Researchers will then train them to use it a…

This study is testing if a special wrapping technique called 'flossing' can help reduce shoulder pain and improve sleep for people who have had a stroke. Researchers will compare standard physical therapy alone to therapy plus the flossband treatment over six weeks. The goal is t…

This study is comparing two physical therapy methods to see which is better at improving hand and arm function in people who have had a stroke. It will involve 54 stroke survivors who have weakness on one side of their body. Participants will receive either Proprioceptive Neuromu…

This study looks back at the medical records of 35 stroke patients who received botulinum toxin (Botox) injections for severe muscle stiffness between 2017 and 2020. Researchers are analyzing which muscles were injected, what doses were used, and how well the patients improved in…
