Brain imaging to track arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (one side of the body affected) at least 3 months ago
- Your arm weakness is in a moderate range—not too severe, not almost fully recovered
- Your muscle stiffness is mild to moderate, not severe
- You can understand and follow two-step instructions
- You do not have other neurological conditions, bone fractures, or severe heart/medical complications
- You are not receiving Botox injections for your arm and not enrolled in other rehabilitation studies at the same time

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 a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This study tests a portable brain-measurement device to track arm movement recovery in people who have had a stroke. It aims to make it easier for doctors to measure progress right at the bedside.
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 uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
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.
