Medication and Robot Training for Stroke Arm Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether three medications (Telmisartan, Cilostazol, and Metformin) combined with robotic arm training can help people improve arm movement and strength after a chronic stroke. You would participate in supervised training sessions using a robotic rehabilitation system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had an ischemic stroke (blood clot in the brain) at least 6 months ago
- Age 21–80 years old
- Moderate to severe weakness in the affected upper arm (measured by a standardized test)
- Able to follow multi-step instructions and score 20 or higher on a memory test
- BMI of 25 or higher (study medications work safely at this weight)
- No heart problems, severe spasticity, or other neurological conditions that would interfere with training

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
This study tests a robotic device that helps both arms work together to improve movement after a stroke. It may help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have some arm weakness.
This study tests whether brain stimulation and robotic/arm training can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke. It may help strengthen movement and coordination by targeting brain pathways related to arm control.
This study combines a robotic arm device with tai chi exercises to help people who have had a stroke regain movement and strength in their affected arm. The goal is to make rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
