Combined therapy for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests combining two rehabilitation methods (CIMT and Brunnstrom therapy) to help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand function on their affected side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- You have had a stroke that caused weakness on one side of your body (hemiplegia), either from a bleed or a clot
- You can stand on your own for at least 2 minutes without help from another person
- You are able to participate in thinking and memory tests and score 24 or higher on a standard test (Mini-Mental State Exam)
- You do not have severe arm pain (rated less than 4 out of 10) and you do not have high muscle tightness (spasticity) in any arm joint (rated below 2 on a special scale)
- You are not currently in another rehabilitation program and you can give your consent to join

This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
This study tests two types of arm movement therapy—constraint-induced and bilateral training—to see if they help people who have had a stroke and still have some arm weakness. It is for adults who are in the chronic stage (at least 6 months after stroke) and have normal memory and thinking skills.
This trial tests a self-supervised arm therapy program for people who had a stroke at least two weeks ago. It aims to improve use of the weaker arm through intensive practice at home.
This study compares two therapies to help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It aims to find which therapy works better for people with moderate arm weakness.
This trial tests a modified version of constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm function in people who have had a stroke within the last 15 days. You may benefit if you have weakness in one arm and can follow simple instructions.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.
