Mental practice and neglect training for arm function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether mental practice (imagining movements) and a therapy called motor imagery, along with visual scanning training, can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a right-brain stroke. You might benefit if you have trouble using your left arm and want to regain more control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke in the right side of your brain that caused weakness on the left side of your body.
- You are right-handed.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your stroke happened between 1 and 6 months ago.
- You can think clearly (score at least 24 on a standard mental test).
- You have some active movement in your hand, wrist, and fingers, including the ability to let go.

This study tests whether a special mental practice routine (imagining movements without actually moving) can help improve arm control after a stroke. You'll learn to picture certain arm movements in your mind, which may help you move better in daily life.
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 trial tests if a type of training that combines eye exercises with arm movements can help people who have had a stroke regain better use of their affected arm.
This study compares two types of arm exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It aims to find which exercise approach is better for recovery.
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke on the right side of the brain, causing neglect (ignoring the left side) and weakness on the left side. The goal is to see if robotic therapy can help improve attention and arm movement.
