Mirror Therapy vs. Daily Activity Training After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two rehabilitation approaches—mirror therapy (using a mirror to help retrain your affected side) and cognitive orientation to daily tasks—for people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see which method helps improve arm, hand, and leg function better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (blockage or bleeding in the brain)
- You are 3–12 months past your stroke (subacute or chronic recovery stage)

- You score 24 or higher on a cognitive screening test (Mini-Mental State Examination)
- You do not have severe vision problems, bone/joint injuries, or other serious neurological conditions
- You are not enrolled in another clinical study at the same time

This study tests whether using a mirror during arm exercises helps improve movement after a stroke. It compares two types of rehab programs to see which works better.
This study tests a simple therapy where you use a mirror to make your affected arm or leg look like it's moving normally. It may help improve your movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke.
This study tests whether adding mirror therapy to regular walking and leg exercises helps people who have had a stroke walk better and improve leg function. Mirror therapy uses a mirror to create the illusion that the affected leg is moving, which may help rewire the brain.
This trial tests whether task-based mirror therapy can help improve shoulder and hand function in people who have had a stroke less than 6 months ago. It focuses on those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms but without severe muscle stiffness or cognitive issues.
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
This trial tests whether mirror-based therapy can help improve movement in the affected hand and wrist after a stroke. It may help you regain upper-limb function when standard rehab alone isn’t enough.
