Mirror therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—watching your unaffected arm move in a mirror to trick your brain—helps improve movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke. It's for people who still have some arm and leg function and can follow simple instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can read and write.
- You are 18 years or older.

This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
This study tests if using a mirror to create the illusion of moving your weaker arm can help your real arm recover better after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago, are 18 to 80, and still have some but not too much movement in their affected arm.
This study tests whether using a mirror to create a visual illusion of leg movement can help improve walking and balance for people who have recently had a stroke. It is designed for patients who are still in the hospital and have weakness on one side of their body.
This trial tests whether mirror-based therapy can help improve movement in the affected hand and wrist after a stroke. It may help you regain upper-limb function when standard rehab alone isn’t enough.
This study tests whether using a special mirror system with augmented reality (computer-enhanced images) can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. The therapy uses reflection and visual tricks to help your brain relearn how to control the weaker arm.
This study compares two rehabilitation approaches—mirror therapy (using a mirror to help retrain your affected side) and cognitive orientation to daily tasks—for people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see which method helps improve arm, hand, and leg function better.
