Mirror therapy vs virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two therapies—mirror therapy and virtual reality—to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. It aims to find which approach works better for recovery.

This study tests whether virtual reality mirror therapy can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke a few months ago and still have some arm weakness.
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 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 a mix of virtual reality (VR) and mirror therapy to help improve arm movement after a stroke. You may be asked to use the technology and give feedback, and the study may compare it with other care approaches to see if it helps more.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It uses a special mirror therapy technique combined with cooperative tasks in a virtual environment.
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.
