Brain-computer interface robotic therapy for severe arm weakness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic arm therapy that uses a brain-computer interface to help people with severe arm weakness after a stroke. It compares this new therapy to a control group doing similar attention-based exercises, to see if the brain-computer interface helps improve arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have severe weakness in one arm.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions.
- Your arm impairment is severe (score 30 or less on a standard arm function test) and you likely don't use your affected arm in daily life.
- You have no other neurological conditions (like brain injury, multiple sclerosis, or dementia) and no metal implants or devices that would prevent an MRI.
- Your vision is good enough (20/50 or better with glasses) and you are not pregnant.

This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with a brain-computer interface could help you regain arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who have plateaued in their recovery and have some remaining movement but still struggle with daily tasks.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This study tests a new rehabilitation approach that combines brain-computer interface technology with robotic mirror therapy to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to see if this combined therapy is more effective than standard rehabilitation for people who had a stroke in the past 1 to 6 months.
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 robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
This trial tests a new brain-computer interface therapy that helps people who recently had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It uses your brain signals to control a device, and starting early may improve recovery.
