NCT ID NCT07150325

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This small study tested whether combining a hand force control training device (TIPr) with mirror visual feedback can improve hand function and brain activity in stroke survivors. Five stroke patients with hand weakness used the devices while researchers measured hand strength, dexterity, and brain oxygen levels. The goal was to see if this combination could help restore hand movement, which is crucial for daily activities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Force control training device (TIPr) and mirror visual feedback device

What this could lead to

If this approach works, it could point toward a new hand rehabilitation method for stroke survivors to improve hand strength and dexterity.

What could go wrong

This was a very small study with only 5 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The approach is still early and needs larger trials to confirm benefits.
