Brain-computer interface with virtual reality for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) with virtual reality (an immersive computer environment) can help improve arm movement after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and still have some weakness in one arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago that affected one arm.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can understand and follow instructions.
- You have mild or no muscle tightness (spasticity) in your affected arm.
- You are able to sit for about 2 hours.
- You are already doing standard rehabilitation therapy.

This study tests a combination of virtual reality therapy and brain stimulation to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It uses a special interface controlled by muscle signals and applies stimulation to the cerebellum to improve motor control.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device implanted in the brain) to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It may help if you have a single stroke that happened 6 to 18 months ago and still have trouble using your arm.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
This trial tests a robotic system to help stroke survivors regain arm and hand movement. The goal is to see if robot-assisted therapy improves recovery compared to standard care.
