Leganés, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06951035Recruiting
Brain stimulation and BCI for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some weakness but can move their fingers slightly.
ParisAges 18–85 - NCT06839482Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm therapy after recent stroke
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
Elkins Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT06725784Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm rehab with different levels of supervision
This study tests a robot called ReHandyBot that helps people exercise their arm and hand. Researchers want to see if it works well when a therapist is nearby or far away, and how much it costs.
BrissagoAges 18–90 - NCT06569771Recruiting
How patients feel about using their arm after stroke rehab
This study looks at how people feel about using their arm after a stroke during intensive rehab. It helps understand if therapy makes a difference in how you use your arm in daily life.
Charleroi, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT05981664Recruiting
Can adaptive gaming help kids with arm differences?
This study explores whether playing video games with adapted controls can help children aged 7 to 17 who have a missing or different arm or hand. It tests how fun and useful these games are for improving movement and daily life.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 7–17 - NCT05713890Recruiting
Home VR training for right arm function in MS
This study tests whether doing a virtual-reality–based training program at home can improve movement and daily use of the right arm and hand in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce hand limitations by practicing targeted movement skills using an easy remote setup.
Milan, MilanAges 18–65 - NCT03752775Recruiting
Robotic arm sleeve for stroke recovery
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT07850830Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab survey for arm and shoulder conditions
This study asks people using virtual reality for arm or shoulder rehabilitation to answer questions about how they feel about it. Your responses help improve VR rehab for conditions like shoulder pain or stroke recovery.
CairoAges 20–50 - NCT06884553Recruiting
Robotic arm therapy vs. standard therapy for chronic stroke
This study compares two types of arm therapy for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago: one using a robotic device and the other using standard occupational therapy (exercises with a therapist). The goal is to see which helps more with arm movement and function.
Florence, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07860827Recruiting
Robotic arm training for people with tetraplegia
This study tests whether robotic arm training helps people with tetraplegia (paralysis of both arms and legs) improve arm and hand strength after a recent spinal cord injury. Participants use a robot that guides their arm movements, and the study checks if this training leads to better function.
Negrar, VenetoAges 18–80 - NCT06897631Recruiting
Tai chi with a robot for arm recovery after stroke
This study combines a robotic arm device with tai chi exercises to help people who have had a stroke regain movement and strength in their affected arm. The goal is to make rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 40–80 - NCT05884762Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper limb rehabilitation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 85 recruiting upper limb rehabilitation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a upper limb rehabilitation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a upper limb rehabilitation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
