First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether mirror therapy can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and reduce pain in a weak arm. Participants do arm exercises while watching the reflection of their good arm, which tricks the brain into thinking the weak arm is moving. The trial involves 72 adults who had a first stroke and are able to follow simple instructions.
