Virtual reality mirror therapy could boost stroke arm recovery
NCT ID NCT07460128
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares digital mirror therapy using augmented reality to conventional mirror therapy for improving arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 44 participants will receive 10 sessions over 21 days. The goal is to see if the digital version leads to better movement and muscle control, and to understand what helps or hinders patients from using the technology.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital mirror therapy (augmented reality system)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a more engaging and effective way to improve arm movement after stroke, potentially leading to better recovery and daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is also short-term (10 sessions over 21 days), and long-term benefits are unknown.
