Arm therapy for chronic stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if imagining arm movements (motor imagery training) can help improve arm strength in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is a non-drug, mental practice approach that may help your brain relearn movement.
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.
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 study tests two different therapy programs to see which one helps people who have had a stroke regain better use of their arm and hand. It is designed for people who still have some movement but struggle with fine motor tasks.
This study tests two different schedules of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CI therapy) to see which better helps stroke survivors regain use of their weaker arm and hand. You may qualify if you can make small wrist and finger movements.
This study compares two types of arm and hand therapy for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see which approach helps improve arm function and daily living skills.
