U.S., April 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07513714) titled 'ESTIM-UL: FES for Upper Limb Recovery After Stroke' on March 21.
Brief Summary: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, frequently resulting in impaired upper limb motor function and spasticity. Although Botulinum Toxin Type A (BoNT-A) is effective in reducing focal spasticity, functional recovery of the upper limb often remains limited without intensive, task-specific rehabilitation. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), when synchronized with voluntary movement during Task-Oriented Training, may enhance motor recovery by facilitating muscle activation and neuroplasticity. This randomized controlled trial aims to eval...
