Therapies to improve arm movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for people who have had a stroke. It tests if modified constraint-induced movement therapy or mirror therapy can help improve movement in the affected arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) between 3 and 24 months ago.
- You have some movement in your affected arm (mild to moderate impairment).
- You are able to understand and follow instructions (mental score of 20 or higher).
- Your vision is good enough to do mirror therapy.
- You do not have any serious, uncontrolled health conditions that would prevent participation.

This trial compares mirror therapy and CIMT to improve hand and arm function in people who have had a stroke within the past 6 months. It could help you regain movement in your affected hand.
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
This study tests whether doing arm exercises while watching the reflection of your good arm in a mirror can help improve movement and function in your affected arm after a stroke.
This trial tests whether mirror-based therapy can help improve movement in the affected hand and wrist after a stroke. It may help you regain upper-limb function when standard rehab alone isn’t enough.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—a simple exercise where you watch your unaffected hand move in a mirror to trick your brain—can help improve hand function after a recent stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last month and have weakness on one side of their body.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—watching your unaffected arm move in a mirror to trick your brain—helps improve movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke. It's for people who still have some arm and leg function and can follow simple instructions.
