Monitoring Arm Recovery After Stroke (MARS)
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tracks how well your arm recovers after a stroke. You'll be monitored as you go through your usual rehab, and the goal is to better understand arm recovery patterns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke.
- Your affected arm is moderately weak (not completely paralyzed, but not fully functional either).
- You do not have severe shoulder pain in that arm (more than a 3 out of 10).
- You can sit without needing a high back support.
- If you use a wheelchair, you can transfer to a chair with help from one person and your wheelchair backrest can fold down.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
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 tries to predict how well your arm movement may improve after a stroke. It uses brain and/or nerve testing (like MRI and TMS) and could help doctors plan the best rehabilitation for you.
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
This study tests an intensive 6-week arm training program for people who had a first stroke 3 to 6 months ago and still have arm weakness. The goal is to see how the brain can recover arm function.
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
