There are currently 250 active clinical trials seeking participants for Stroke research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Stroke participants are California, Florida, New York and Ontario.
To Develop a Walking Exercise Program for Non-ambulatory Stroke Survivors
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a gait (walking) training program in non-ambulatory (unable to walk) chronic stroke survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Will gait training improve the cardiovascular system in non-ambulatory chronic stroke survivors better than a sitting leg cycling exercise? Participants will walk on a treadmill with a partial body-weight support system and the gait training device. Researchers will compare with a leg-cycling exercise to see if there... Read More

Post-stroke Perturbation Training
Recruiting
Following a stroke, many individuals have a high risk of falls, which can negatively influence quality of life. Unfortunately, current treatments have not effectively addressed this problem. This study investigates whether two methods of delivering mechanical perturbations during walking have the potential to improve post-stroke walking balance and reduce real-world fall incidence.

Exercise and Motor Learning After Stroke (Study #3)
Recruiting
Subjects with chronic stroke (\> 6 months post-stroke) will learn a new walking pattern through distorted visual feedback. Retention of the pattern will be tested without visual feedback immediately after learning and 24 hours later. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the control group or the exercise group. The control group will simply complete the learning task. The exercise group will complete 5 minutes of exercise immediately following the first retention test to test for the effects of... Read More

Cycle and Stroke With Biofeedback for Power Symmetry
Recruiting
To determine changes in power symmetry, gait symmetry, and functional outcomes for participants' poststroke (Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility) after participating in an intervention using a recumbent cycle with power biofeedback (BFB). To determine how this intervention can impact gait asymmetry, a common disorder poststroke secondary to hemiparesis. Gait asymmetry is a difficult impairment to treat because it is difficult for both therapists and patients to perceive. Training with BFB allows f... Read More

Locomotor Recovery and Compensation Post-stroke (LRC)
Recruiting
The proposed research will characterize of the time course of neurological and locomotor recovery as well as development of compensatory strategies throughout sub-acute and chronic phases post stroke. In addition, we will also investigate the extent to which measures of recovery and compensation are malleable and can be altered with specific interventions in both the early and late stages post-stroke. Delineation of the time course of development and magnitude of patterns of recovery and compens... Read More

Amplatzer Amulet LAAO Vs. NOAC
Recruiting
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet LAA occluder compared to NOAC therapy in patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for ischemic stroke and who are recommended for long-term NOAC therapy. The clinical investigation is a prospective, randomized, multicenter active control worldwide trial. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the Amulet LAA occlusion device ("Device Group") and a commercially available NOAC medication ("Cont... Read More

The Beneficial Effects of Naps on Motor Learning
Recruiting
Background: Memory consolidation is the process by which memories become stable, long-term representations in the brain. Consolidation of a motor skill is dependent upon sleep. Some research shows that daytime naps improve people s motor performance and memory retention. Researchers want to find out how daytime naps may contribute to learning and support consolidation of motor skill memories. Objective: To learn the role of memory replay during wakeful rest and sleep (naps) in retaining a new... Read More

Influence of Brain Oscillation-Dependent TMS on Motor Function
Recruiting
Background: When people have a stroke, they often have difficulty moving their arms and hands. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve how well people with and without stroke can move their arms and hands. But the effects of TMS are minor, and it doesn t work for everyone. Researchers want to study how to time brain stimulation so that the effects are more consistent. Objective: To understand how the brain responds to transcranial magnetic stimulation so that treatments for people... Read More

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation + Language Therapy to Treat Mild Aphasia
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) combined with Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) is an effective treatment for mild aphasia in persons with chronic stroke. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can TMS combined with SLT improve conversational speech and comprehension? 2. Can we identify specific behavioral and biological characteristics that would benefit most from the TMS and SLT treatment? Researchers will compare real TMS... Read More

rTMS for Post-stroke Fatigue
Recruiting
This experimental trial is investigating the use of magnetic stimulation of the brain as a possible treatment for people with post-stroke fatigue. Fatigue is a common condition after a stroke and can negatively impact an individual's ability to perform desired social and physical activities. Magnetic stimulation of the brain has been shown to improve signs and symptoms of related psychological (e.g., depression) conditions. Participants in this trial will receive a type of magnetic stimulation c... Read More
