Extra arm exercises after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding more arm exercises early after a stroke helps people recover arm and hand movement. If you qualify, you would get extra motor training in addition to your regular therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or a bleed) in the last 1 to 6 weeks.
- This is your first stroke, or you had a prior stroke that did not affect your arm or hand.
- You can lift your arm forward at least 20 degrees and move your wrist or fingers a little.
- You do not have severe shoulder pain, stiffness, or trouble understanding instructions.

This early-stage trial tests a special exercise approach meant to “prime” the brain and improve arm movement after a stroke. You may be eligible if you’re 6+ months out from a one-sided stroke and can safely do an exercise test.
This study tests two different physical therapy approaches to help improve arm movement and function in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in therapy sessions using either rhythmic initiation (guided movement exercises) or isometric training (muscle-tightening exercises) to see which helps your arm recover better.
This study tests a home-based arm exercise program for people who have had a stroke and have some movement in their affected arm and hand. It aims to see if doing these exercises at home can improve arm function.
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This study tests a type of physical therapy called modified constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. You will be encouraged to use your affected arm more often while the stronger arm is gently restricted, which may help retrain your brain and improve movement.
