Robotic hand therapy after first stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special robotic device can help people regain hand movement after a recent first stroke. It's for people who are already in a stroke rehab program and have hand weakness but can still move their fingers a bit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first-time stroke less than 6 months ago.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your hand is weak, numb, or hard to move because of the stroke.
- You can understand simple two-step instructions.
- Your hand is not extremely stiff, and you don't have severe hand pain or neglect (ignoring one side).
- You can bend and straighten your fingers at least a little.

This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
This study tests whether a robot-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand recovery.
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 whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
This test combines a soft robotic hand and electrical stimulation to help improve hand movement in people recovering from a stroke. It may benefit stroke survivors who have some ability to extend their fingers and are in the early months of recovery.
This trial studies whether robot-assisted therapy can help people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago improve their arm and hand function. It may be a good option if you are ready for rehab and do not have certain complications like severe hand stiffness or recent injections.
