Comparing two arm therapies after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two therapies to help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It aims to find which therapy works better for people with moderate arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.

This trial compares mirror therapy and CIMT to improve hand and arm function in people who have had a stroke within the past 6 months. It could help you regain movement in your affected hand.
This study compares two types of arm and hand therapy for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see which approach helps improve arm function and daily living skills.
This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
This study compares two types of arm exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It aims to find which exercise approach is better for recovery.
This trial tests a self-supervised arm therapy program for people who had a stroke at least two weeks ago. It aims to improve use of the weaker arm through intensive practice at home.
This study tests a therapy that focuses on using your weaker arm more after a stroke by “constraining” the better arm during training. It may help improve how you move and use your hand and wrist in daily life if you still have mild movement and can participate in clinic sessions.
