Early brain-computer interface therapy for recent stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new brain-computer interface therapy that helps people who recently had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It uses your brain signals to control a device, and starting early may improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You were diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain).
- The stroke started within the last 48 to 72 hours before starting the trial.
- You have weakness on your dominant side (the side you use most), affecting your arm or hand.
- Your arm function is moderately to severely impaired, but not completely without movement.
- Before the stroke, you were able to live independently (no major disability).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and arm function.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This study tests a new brain-computer system that helps people recovering from a stroke in the left side of the brain. It uses your thoughts to move a device, which may help improve arm and hand movement.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) using near-infrared light can help stroke survivors improve hand and arm movement. You'll receive a type of brain training called neurofeedback during the study.
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 study tests a robotic arm therapy that uses a brain-computer interface to help people with severe arm weakness after a stroke. It compares this new therapy to a control group doing similar attention-based exercises, to see if the brain-computer interface helps improve arm function.
