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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how motor imagery (thinking about moving) and neglect relate to arm recovery after a stroke. It may help patients who had a right-brain stroke and can already move their hand and fingers.
This study looks at how early brain imaging and careful arm/leg movement tests can help recovery after certain strokes. If you had a stroke affecting the motor pathway, this may help researchers better understand what predicts improvement.
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 trial tests whether a special type of mental practice combined with movement (called PETTLEP-based Action Observation and Motor Imagery) can improve how your arm and hand move after a stroke. It is for people who still have some arm movement and mild to moderate muscle stiffness.
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 study looks at how a stroke affects language and thinking skills, especially planning and problem-solving. The goal is to better understand these changes to improve therapy for people with aphasia (difficulty speaking or understanding language).
