This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises help stroke patients recover arm and hand movement faster and better. You'd use VR games alongside your regular rehabilitation therapy in the hospital and after going home.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT07610850Recruiting
Brain-controlled stimulation to improve arm and leg movement after stroke
This trial tests a new brain-controlled device that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord to help restore arm and leg movement after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 9 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body, this may help you regain function.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–70 - NCT04119544Recruiting

This trial tests whether mirror-based therapy can help improve movement in the affected hand and wrist after a stroke. It may help you regain upper-limb function when standard rehab alone isn’t enough.
Reims, Champagne-ArdenneAges 18–100 - NCT06876597Recruiting
Robotic arm therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
FuzhouAges 40–80 - NCT06076928Recruiting
Brain-computer interface glove for hand recovery after stroke
This trial tests a robotic glove controlled by your brain signals to help improve hand function after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 16 weeks ago and have some movement in their shoulder and elbow but limited hand control.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–85 - NCT06496529Recruiting
Robot arm brace for stroke recovery
This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
