Comparing remote vs. in-person arm therapy after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of therapy—telehealth sessions at home versus in-person sessions—to help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The stroke left you with weakness or trouble moving your arm or hand on one side of your body.
- You are able to follow simple instructions and take part in study activities for one year.
- You did not have any arm or hand injury or condition before the stroke that limited your movement.

This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
This study tests whether telehealth (video-guided) exercises can help people recover arm function after a recent stroke. You'll do exercises at home with remote support and guidance, and researchers will track your progress over 6 weeks.
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
This study compares doing brain-training exercises at home on a digital device versus going to a clinic after a stroke. It aims to see which method better helps improve memory, thinking, and daily function.
This trial tests a self-management program to help people recover after a stroke, using video calls and support materials. If you had a mild or moderate stroke in the last 6 months and live at home, this may help you build skills for daily life.
This trial tests a self-supervised arm therapy program for people who had a stroke at least two weeks ago. It aims to improve use of the weaker arm through intensive practice at home.
