Mirror therapy rehab for arm after recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
