Biofeedback therapy after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a therapy called biofeedback can help people with arm stiffness after a stroke. It may help you gain better control and movement in your affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had a stroke (confirmed by a doctor and brain scan)
- Your affected arm has some stiffness (known as spasticity) but not too severe (score up to 3 on the Ashworth scale)

This study tests if adding biofeedback to standard rehabilitation improves hand and arm function after a stroke. Biofeedback uses sensors to show you how your muscles are working, helping you regain movement.
This trial tests a brain-based training method (neurofeedback) to help improve hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke in the last 3 months and still have weakness on one side.
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and 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 trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
