Brain training with light for stroke arm recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) using near-infrared light can help stroke survivors improve hand and arm movement. You'll receive a type of brain training called neurofeedback during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have arm or hand weakness from a stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic stroke).
- It has been more than 6 months since your stroke.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have mild to moderate difficulty using your affected arm or hand.
- You can understand spoken or written traditional Chinese and give consent to join.

This trial uses a brain-computer interface (TMS and fNIRS) to help people with chronic stroke regain arm function. It tests if combining brain stimulation with real-time brain activity feedback can improve movement.
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and arm function.
This trial tests if combining a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) with virtual reality (an immersive computer environment) can help improve arm movement after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and still have some weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial tests a brain-based training method (neurofeedback) to help improve hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 3 months and still have weakness on one side.
