Phase N/A

Spatial-Motor Stroke-Rehab Study aims to explore how a special therapy, called prism adaptation training (PAT), and electrical stimulation can help people after a stroke. A stroke is when blood flow to the brain is blocked, causing various problems like spatial neglect (SN), which makes people ignore one side of their space. PAT helps people with SN, but we're not sure how it affects walking. Electrical stimulation uses small electric currents to help muscles and nerves work better. This study will look at how combining PAT and electrical stimulation helps both healthy individuals and those who had a stroke.

  • Study includes healthy young adults (18-30 years) and older adults (45-90 years), and individuals who had a stroke.
  • Excludes those with certain health conditions, like uncontrolled hypertension or skin issues.
  • Individuals with metal implants or involved in other studies cannot join.

The goal is to develop better therapies to help stroke survivors walk better and reduce disability. Participants will help researchers understand how to best combine these therapies for future treatments.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
