Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It compares this modern rehabilitation approach to standard therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke happened between 3 and 12 months ago.
- You have mild-to-moderate weakness in your arm or hand, but are able to move it somewhat.
- You can understand simple instructions and communicate with the study team.
- You do not have implanted metal (like a pacemaker or metal screws), and you do not have vision or hearing problems.

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 trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated environment you can interact with) during rehabilitation helps improve arm movement after a recent stroke. If you are in the hospital recovering from a stroke and have arm weakness, this therapy might help you regain strength and coordination.
This study tests whether using virtual reality during occupational therapy helps people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you join, you'll use a VR headset during your therapy sessions, which may make rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
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.
