Behavioural Intervention
rTMS + CCFES Therapy for Severe Stroke
This trial tests a new therapy for stroke patients with severe arm and hand movement issues. It combines brain stimulation with muscle electrical stimulation to improve recovery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than other treatments.
Device
tDCS + Bimanual Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
This trial will test if a new brain stimulation treatment can improve hand function in children with USCP. Children will be randomly assigned to either receive the new treatment or a fake (sham) treatment.
Behavioural Intervention
TENS for Stroke
"This trial involves participants attending at least 15 sessions for various tests related to reflex behaviors, motor tracts, functional movement, and walking patterns. Each participant will be enrolled and data collected over a four

Trials for Ischemic Stroke Patients
Neurostimulation Device
Stimulator Implant for Stroke Recovery
This trial is testing a small implanted device that helps stroke survivors walk better by sending electrical signals to their muscles. The device is surgically placed and helps the muscles contract, making it easier to walk. This method has been shown to improve walking ability in stroke patients.
Robot-Assisted Therapy for Stroke
This trial is testing a new rehabilitation method for stroke patients using simple robots that help with exercises. The robots provide feedback and can be used alone or in groups to play therapy games. The goal is to see if this method is as effective as traditional therapy and if it can make quality care more accessible in community settings. Robots were introduced in rehabilitation in the 90s to reduce the physical effort of therapists.
Behavioral Intervention
I-STROM Implementation for Stroke Rehabilitation
This trial is testing different ways to get therapists to use two different tests to measure the progress of their stroke patients. They will be surveying and talking to therapists to see what works best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to hemiplegia
What are the top hospitals conducting hemiplegia research?
When it comes to advancing treatments and therapies for hemiplegia, several top hospitals are leading the way. In Cleveland, MetroHealth Medical Center stands out with its dedication to this condition. With two ongoing clinical trials and a total of six completed trials since their first recorded investigation in 2005, MetroHealth is at the forefront of hemiplegia research. Another hospital making strides in Philadelphia is Penn Medicine Rittenhouse, which currently has two active hemiplegia trials and has conducted three previous studies since their inaugural trial in 2014.
In addition to these institutions, Cleveland's Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center plays an essential role by actively participating in one current hemiplegia trial while having accomplished one successful study thus far; their groundbreaking work began just recently in 2023. Meanwhile, Mercy Living Independently for Elders (L.I.F.E) - West Philadelphia is contributing significantly with one ongoing clinical trial focused on hemiplegia patients as well as conducting a single successful investigation since recording their trailblazing efforts starting from2022.
Furthermore joining this list is the Medical University of South carolina located in Charleston where they have dedicated themselves to furthering our understanding ofhemiplegic conditions through their ongoing effortsto conduct cutting-edge therapy facilitated byone recent exploration started backin 2022
These esteemed hospitals are not only providing hope but also paving the way for innovative advancements that can potentially transform the lives of individuals affected by hemiplegia. Together, they showcase how collaboration and commitment within medical communities can make significant strides towards improving treatment options for those living with this condition.
Which are the best cities for hemiplegia clinical trials?
Cleveland, Ohio; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; White Plains and Valhalla in New york; and Loma Linda, California are prominent cities for hemiplegia clinical trials. These locations offer a range of studies investigating various treatments and interventions for individuals with hemiplegia. Some trials focus on innovative approaches like implantation, controller development, and evaluation in Cleveland; robot-assisted therapy using Rehab CARES system in Philadelphia; seated exercise and active transcranial direct current stimulation in White Plains; bimanual hand therapy and tdcs plus robotic training in Valhalla.
