NCT ID NCT07259577
First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation technique (taVNS) combined with robot-assisted arm training can improve arm movement, breathing strength, and quality of life in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Thirty adults with moderate to severe arm weakness will be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham stimulation during their therapy sessions over five weeks. The goal is to see if adding nerve stimulation helps the brain rewire more effectively than robot therapy alone.
