Virtual reality therapy for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people who had a stroke regain movement in their arm and hand. It is for patients who had their first stroke 3 to 12 months ago and still have moderate arm weakness.

This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
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 study tests whether watching virtual reality videos of arm movements can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have some movement in your affected arm and can follow instructions.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a special headset with games) combined with mild electrical stimulation on the scalp can help people recover arm movement early after a stroke. It is for people who already have some movement in their affected arm and are in the subacute phase (1 week to 3 months after stroke).
This trial tests a virtual reality system to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It looks at whether this technology is practical and helpful for recovery in Ethiopia.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
