NCT ID NCT07624773
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two therapies—mirror therapy and PNF techniques—to see if they improve leg movement and balance in people who had a subacute stroke. 36 participants aged 40-65 were split into two groups, each receiving one therapy along with standard exercises. The goal was to find simple, non-drug ways to aid recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
mirror therapy and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) techniques
What this could lead to
If effective, these therapies could offer simple, drug-free ways to improve leg movement and balance after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The therapies are supportive and not a cure.
