Effects of Plantar Vibration on Gait and Balance in Stroke
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
This ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry documents NCT07551141, a randomized study evaluating local vibration applied to the plantar surface of the foot as an intervention for individuals recovering from stroke. The study enrolls approximately 50 participants and compares active plantar vibration against a placebo plantar vibration control, measuring gait speed and dynamic balance as primary outcomes. The trial is registered with an estimated start date of April 24, 2026.
“This study aims to evaluate the effects of local vibration applied to the plantar surface of the foot on gait speed and dynamic balance in individuals with stroke.”
About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
This ClinicalTrials.gov entry registers a new NIH-sponsored randomized controlled study (NCT07551141) on the effects of local vibration applied to the plantar surface of the foot in individuals with stroke. The trial includes two arms: an active plantar vibration intervention and a placebo plantar vibration control, with gait speed and dynamic balance as measured outcomes.
Healthcare providers and clinical investigators involved in stroke rehabilitation may encounter this intervention in future evidence synthesis. The registry entry itself does not impose compliance obligations but signals that plantar vibration as a neuromotor rehabilitation modality is under active clinical evaluation. Patients with stroke should be informed that this remains an investigational approach and not yet standard of care.
