Arm-hand boost therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special arm and hand therapy program for people who are still in the hospital after a stroke. If you have trouble using your arm or hand, this treatment may help you recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke (affecting only one side of your brain) no more than 5 months ago.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You will be in the hospital for at least 4 more weeks.
- You can sit up on your own without help.
- You have some arm or hand weakness, as determined by a simple physical exam.

This trial tests a hand training system that may help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. If you have had a stroke and have trouble using your hand, this study might be able to help you regain some function.
This trial tests a rehabilitation program to improve arm and hand function after a first stroke. It is designed for people who have some movement but need extra help to recover strength and control.
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
This early-stage trial tests a special exercise approach meant to “prime” the brain and improve arm movement after a stroke. You may be eligible if you’re 6+ months out from a one-sided stroke and can safely do an exercise test.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
