How handedness affects arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how being left- or right-handed affects arm recovery after a recent stroke. It aims to help personalize rehabilitation for better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a rehabilitation program that uses everyday daily activities to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their arm and hand function. It may help with regaining independence in daily life.
This trial tests if a simple, free task can recognize handedness in people who have had a stroke. It aims to help tailor rehabilitation after a stroke.
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 study tests whether a hand exercise program can improve movement in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It aims to help you regain control of your hand and fingers.
This study tests whether adding a dual-task (doing two things at once) to a standard arm and hand exercise program helps stroke survivors improve better than standard exercises alone. It could help you regain more use of your arm and hand.
This study looks at how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke. It uses brain scans to see if early changes can predict how much arm function you might recover, which could help guide rehabilitation.
