Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study investigates the impact of sensory electrical nerve stimulation (SENS) on hand function in chronic stroke patients. Thirty participants were randomly divided into two groups: Study Group (A): Received SENS combined with task-specific training. Control Group (B): Received only task-specific training. Assessments conducted before and after the intervention included measurements of grip strength, pinch strength, wrist range of motion, and performance on the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT).

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Chronic use of medications that may influence motor or sensory excitability (e.g., anti-epileptic or antipsychotic drugs).
Other illness
- Presence of a deformity in the paralytic upper limb before the stroke.
- History of a lower motor neuron lesion in the impaired upper extremity (e.g., polyneuropathy) before the stroke.
- Unstable health conditions, including cardiac dysfunction, end-stage renal failure, unstable diabetes, or uncontrolled hypertension (\>190/110).
- Significant orthopedic conditions or chronic pain syndromes.
Other
- Skin abrasions or ulcerations on the affected upper limb.
- Presence of a pacemaker or other implanted electrically sensitive devices.
- Pregnancy.
Who the study is looking for
- Patients who have experienced their first-ever ischemic stroke in the carotid system domain.
- Age range: 40 to 65 years old.
- Duration of illness: 30 to 180 days since stroke onset.
- Spasticity of the affected hand muscles (wrist flexors, finger flexors, and finger adductors) must be grade 1+ or less according to the Modified Ashworth Scale.
- Hand dysfunction severity ranges from mild to severe, defined by a score of ≤ 4 on the Medical Research Council Scale.
Age in the registry: 40 years to 65 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
