NCT ID NCT06784518

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study will follow 30 adults who have had a stroke and have arm weakness. Researchers will use functional MRI scans at several time points over six months to see how the brain reorganizes itself. The goal is to link different patterns of brain activity to different levels of motor recovery, which could help tailor rehabilitation in the future.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors predict which patients will recover arm function after a stroke and guide personalized rehabilitation strategies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it will not directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all stroke patients.
