NCT ID NCT05527262
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether intensive upper limb rehabilitation helps people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 105 participants were randomly assigned to one of two intensive therapy programs or usual care. The goal was to see if high-dose training improves arm movement and function after 3 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
intensive upper limb rehabilitation programme (Queen Square Upper Limb programme and MindPod Dolphin programme)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide strong evidence that intensive arm therapy improves movement and daily function in chronic stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial with only 105 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The intensive therapy is demanding and may not be feasible for everyone.
