Comparing two hand therapies after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 tests two different therapy programs to see which one helps people who have had a stroke regain better use of their arm and hand. It is designed for people who still have some movement but struggle with fine motor tasks.
This study tests two different schedules of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CI therapy) to see which better helps stroke survivors regain use of their weaker arm and hand. You may qualify if you can make small wrist and finger movements.
This trial tests whether task-based mirror therapy can help improve shoulder and hand function in people who have had a stroke less than 6 months ago. It focuses on those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms but without severe muscle stiffness or cognitive issues.
This study compares two types of hand therapy for stroke survivors: one that restricts your good hand to force use of the affected hand, and another that practices tasks with both hands together. The goal is to see which works better for improving hand function.
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 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.
