What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study compares three rehabilitation techniques—mirror therapy, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT)—for helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function. Ninety adults with arm weakness after stroke receive one of the three therapies plus standard physiotherapy for six weeks. Researchers measure improvements in arm movement, muscle tone, and grip strength to see which approach works best.

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, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, constraint-induced movement therapy
What this could lead to
If one therapy proves superior, it could become a standard rehabilitation approach for regaining arm movement after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 90 participants, so results may not apply broadly. All therapies are non-invasive but require consistent effort, and individual recovery varies.
