Movement therapy comparison for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two rehabilitation techniques to help people who have had a stroke regain movement in their arm or leg. It aims to find which method works better for improving daily function during the recovery phase.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 65 years old.
- You have had a stroke (either caused by a blockage or bleeding in the brain) and are now in the sub-acute phase, meaning a few weeks to months after the stroke.
- You are stable, fully conscious, and can follow instructions.
- You have some paralysis on one side of your body (hemiplegia).
- Your mental status is intact, as shown by a score above 23 on a standard cognitive test.
- You do not have serious heart or lung problems, diabetic complications, other neurological conditions (like Parkinson's), or vision/hearing loss, and you have not had recent surgery or injury to your brain, bones, or joints.

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 compares two therapies—mirror therapy and virtual reality—to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. It aims to find which approach works better for recovery.
This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with augmented reality (a computer-generated view of your arm) helps improve arm movement and daily function after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have some arm movement and can walk.
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 task-based mirror therapy can help improve shoulder and hand function in people who have had a stroke less than 6 months ago. It focuses on those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms but without severe muscle stiffness or cognitive issues.
This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with mild electrical nerve stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you can move your unaffected arm and have some shoulder and wrist movement on your affected side.
