Training hand skills after a recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a therapy that helps people with a recent stroke relearn coordinated hand and arm movements. It compares how well motor skill learning works and may help improve functional use of the affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke within the last 21 days (for the stroke group)
- You are 18 to 90 years old
- A brain scan shows your stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic)
- You must be able to follow instructions and do the hand/arm tasks
- You need to be able to have an MRI (if you cannot, you may not qualify)
- You should not have certain conditions like severe language or thinking problems that block participation

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how the brain and arm work together after a stroke, comparing people who have had a recent stroke, people who had a stroke a while ago, and healthy people. It involves three sessions of movement tasks and may include an MRI scan. It could help understand how to improve therapy for stroke recovery.
This study compares learning arm movements with one hand versus both hands to see which method helps stroke patients recover better. It may help you improve arm function after a stroke.
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
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 tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
This study tests whether a robotic training program can help people relearn arm and hand skills after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare learning and movement changes.
