Self-guided arm therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.

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 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 trial tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
This study compares two therapies to help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It aims to find which therapy works better for people with moderate arm weakness.
This study tests a digital therapy program to help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand movement. It is for people who still have some arm function and can come to the lab often for 3 weeks.
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.
