Virtual Reality for Stroke Arm Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises help stroke patients recover arm and hand movement faster and better. You'd use VR games alongside your regular rehabilitation therapy in the hospital and after going home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can help people who have had a stroke recover arm movement. You will play specially designed VR games while in the hospital or at home to see if it improves your arm function.
This trial tests if immersive virtual reality can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. If you had a first stroke within the last month and still have arm weakness, this might be an option.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It compares this modern rehabilitation approach to standard therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago.
This trial tests whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated environment you can interact with) during rehabilitation helps improve arm movement after a recent stroke. If you are in the hospital recovering from a stroke and have arm weakness, this therapy might help you regain strength and coordination.
