New combo therapy aims to restore arm movement after stroke
NCT ID NCT07578961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining gentle touch stimulation with nerve exercises can improve arm movement and feeling in people who had a stroke 6-12 months ago. 53 adults aged 45-65 with lasting arm weakness and sensory loss are participating. The goal is to see if this therapy helps the brain and nerves work better together.
