Virtual reality therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that affected only one side of your body.
- You are at least 6 months past your stroke.
- You have good thinking and memory skills (score above 24 on a standard test).
- You were right-handed before your stroke.

This trial tests a virtual reality system that uses mirror therapy—a technique where you practice movements with your unaffected side while watching a reflection—to help improve movement and function after stroke. The system uses special attention-focusing technology to help your brain relearn movements on the affected side.
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 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 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 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 combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
