Motor imagery, neglect, and arm function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how motor imagery (thinking about moving) and neglect relate to arm recovery after a stroke. It may help patients who had a right-brain stroke and can already move their hand and fingers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) that affected the right side of your brain.
- You are right-handed and your stroke caused weakness on your left side.
- You had your stroke between 1 and 6 months ago.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You can actively move your hand, wrist, and fingers, and let go of things.
- You have no other major brain, bone, or joint conditions that affect arm function.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
This study tests a new way to help stroke survivors improve arm and hand movement. If you had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate arm weakness, you may be able to join.
This study tests if thinking about moving your arm (motor imagery) and watching a video of arm movements can help you move better after a stroke. It uses a technique called EMG to measure muscle signals while you try or imagine moving.
This trial tests whether a special type of mental practice combined with movement (called PETTLEP-based Action Observation and Motor Imagery) can improve how your arm and hand move after a stroke. It is for people who still have some arm movement and mild to moderate muscle stiffness.
This study looks at the brain changes that happen after a stroke and how they affect arm movement. It uses MRI scans and gentle magnetic pulses to understand your brain better, which may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests a robot-assisted therapy for people who have had a right-sided stroke, have trouble paying attention to the left side (neglect), and have weakness on the left side of the body. The goal is to see if this robotic rehab can help improve attention and movement.
