Virtual-reality training using muscle signals for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a virtual-reality training system that uses muscle signals to help people regain arm movement after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke within the last 2 weeks and have arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.

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 virtual reality exercises can help people who had a stroke regain movement in their arm and hand. It is for patients who had their first stroke 3 to 12 months ago and still have moderate arm weakness.
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 study tests whether watching virtual reality videos of arm movements can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have some movement in your affected arm and can follow instructions.
This trial tests whether an EMG-controlled computer game can help retrain how your arm muscles activate after stroke. It may help improve upper-limb movement by practicing with real-time muscle feedback.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
