Modified arm therapy for early stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a modified version of constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm function in people who have had a stroke within the last 15 days. You may benefit if you have weakness in one arm and can follow simple instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two types of arm movement therapy—constraint-induced and bilateral training—to see if they help people who have had a stroke and still have some arm weakness. It is for adults who are in the chronic stage (at least 6 months after stroke) and have normal memory and thinking skills.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.
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 trial tests combining two rehabilitation methods (CIMT and Brunnstrom therapy) to help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand function on their affected side.
This study compares doing arm exercises at home versus in a clinic to help people who had a stroke 1-2 years ago improve their arm movement. It tests if home-based therapy works as well as clinic-based therapy.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy (CIMT and NDT) plus standard physical therapy to see which works better for stroke survivors. It may help you regain movement in your affected arm and improve daily function.
