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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Your stroke happened 4 to 10 weeks ago, affecting one side (hemiparesis)
- Your hand and wrist movement score is low (Fugl-Meyer wrist/hand total under 16)
- You can follow instructions and communicate well enough to participate
- You must be able to join this study instead of being in another clinical trial

This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—watching your unaffected arm move in a mirror to trick your brain—helps improve movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke. It's for people who still have some arm and leg function and can follow simple instructions.
This trial tests whether task-based mirror therapy can help improve shoulder and hand function in people who have had a stroke less than 6 months ago. It focuses on those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms but without severe muscle stiffness or cognitive issues.
This study compares two types of arm rehabilitation after stroke: mirror therapy combined with either task-oriented (practicing daily activities) or impairment-oriented (targeting specific arm weaknesses) exercises. It aims to see which approach better improves arm and hand function.
This study tests whether using a special mirror system with augmented reality (computer-enhanced images) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. The therapy uses reflection and visual tricks to help your brain relearn how to control the weaker arm.
This trial tests if using a soft robotic glove together with mirror therapy can help improve hand and arm movement in people recovering from a stroke. You would wear the glove on your affected hand while looking in a mirror at your unaffected hand, which may help retrain your brain.
