Stroke study: arm and language skills in Turkish speakers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how arm movement, body control, and mental imagery (imagining movement without actually doing it) relate to Turkish language abilities after a stroke. It aims to understand how these functions work together to help recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a stroke at least 1 week ago
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are a native Turkish speaker
- You have not practiced mental imagery before
- You can grasp and hold a small cube (about 1 inch)
- You do not have other major neurological conditions (like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special mental practice routine (imagining movements without actually moving) can help improve arm control after a stroke. You'll learn to picture certain arm movements in your mind, which may help you move better in daily life.
This trial tests whether “motor imagery” done with virtual reality can improve hand function after a stroke. You may benefit if you have readable Turkish and enough thinking ability to follow the program.
This study looks at how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke. It uses brain scans to see if early changes can predict how much arm function you might recover, which could help guide rehabilitation.
This study looks at whether mental practice (imagining movements) and a therapy called motor imagery, along with visual scanning training, can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a right-brain stroke. You might benefit if you have trouble using your left arm and want to regain more control.
This study looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
