Testing sleep timing to improve arm learning after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep may affect how well people relearn arm movements after a stroke. If you’re within a month of a stroke that affected your arm, your participation could help researchers understand better ways to support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have had a stroke that affected your arm within the last month
- Be able to give informed consent, or have a family member/carer able to advise if needed
- Not have another neurological movement condition (for example, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis)

This study tests a sleep-improvement program (Sleepio) to see if better sleep can help people learn and recover after a stroke that affects the arm. You may be able to join if you’re recently out of hospital and can use the internet reliably.
This study tests a new rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke within the last 6 months. It focuses on improving arm weakness using special therapy techniques.
This trial looks at how being left- or right-handed affects arm recovery after a recent stroke. It aims to help personalize rehabilitation for better outcomes.
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This early research study looks at a way to improve thinking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. It may help people who still have problems using one side of their body to walk and learn new movement skills.
This study tests whether taking a nap can improve how well people learn a movement task. It may help you understand how sleep affects “motor learning,” both in healthy volunteers and after stroke.
