Virtual reality mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether virtual reality mirror therapy can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke a few months ago and still have some arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke) between 2 and 6 months ago.
- You have some movement in your arm, but it's limited (score of 2 or more on a test of arm function).
- You can see in 3D (depth perception) and are able to sit up without help.
- You have good thinking skills (score of 24 or more on a mental test).
- You have not had a previous stroke, brain surgery, a head injury, a brain tumor, or other nerve problems.

This study compares two therapies—mirror therapy and virtual reality—to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. It aims to find which approach works better for recovery.
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 whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It uses a special mirror therapy technique combined with cooperative tasks in a virtual environment.
This trial tests a mix of virtual reality (VR) and mirror therapy to help improve arm movement after a stroke. You may be asked to use the technology and give feedback, and the study may compare it with other care approaches to see if it helps more.
This trial tests a virtual reality system that uses mirror therapy—a technique where you practice movements with your unaffected side while watching a reflection—to help improve movement and function after stroke. The system uses special attention-focusing technology to help your brain relearn movements on the affected side.
