Hand sensation and movement recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how feeling and movement in your hand recover after a stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans and simple hand tasks to understand why some people recover better than others, which might help design better rehab treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke (either clot or bleed) within the last 3 weeks.
- You have some arm or hand weakness but can still pick up a small block with your affected hand.
- You have no other conditions that affect arm movement (like arthritis or a past brain injury).
- You do not have severe memory problems or language issues that would make it hard to follow instructions.
- You are safe to have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early-stage study tests whether special sensory feedback (like touch or vibration on your hand) can help improve hand movement and coordination in people recovering from stroke. Researchers want to understand how the brain relearns hand control.
This trial tests a hand training system that may help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. If you have had a stroke and have trouble using your hand, this study might be able to help you regain some function.
This study tests if using a special device to feel different textures can help improve hand and arm recovery in people who have had a stroke.
This test combines a soft robotic hand and electrical stimulation to help improve hand movement in people recovering from a stroke. It may benefit stroke survivors who have some ability to extend their fingers and are in the early months of recovery.
This study tests a therapy program done at home using video calls to help improve hand function after a stroke. It may help you regain better use of your hand if you had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
This trial tests a robotic glove controlled by your brain signals to help improve hand function after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 16 weeks ago and have some movement in their shoulder and elbow but limited hand control.
