Testing a new way to assess hand and arm awareness
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study explores how people perceive the space around their affected arm or hand after a condition called 'exclusion' (partial loss of awareness or use). It uses virtual reality to test this, which might lead to better therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had trouble using your arm or hand (or just part of your hand) for more than 3 months.
- You can understand simple instructions and stand for about 40 minutes.
- You do not have vision problems, epilepsy, or neck problems that prevent using a VR headset.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests if using virtual reality can help older adults who have trouble moving and adapting to their surroundings (psychomotor disadaptation syndrome). It aims to improve their care while in a hospital geriatric unit.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can improve hand function and daily living for people with multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have trouble with fine hand movements.
This trial tests if a virtual reality system called BeCure can help people who had a stroke recover arm movement. It's for people who are still in the early to later stages of recovery (not the very first days) and have some movement and sitting balance.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises that combine arm movements with thinking tasks can improve both memory and brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. If you use a wheelchair and can move your arms well, this might help boost your cognitive function while doing rehab.
This study tests whether doing a virtual-reality–based training program at home can improve movement and daily use of the right arm and hand in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce hand limitations by practicing targeted movement skills using an easy remote setup.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It compares this modern rehabilitation approach to standard therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago.
