Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a structured arm therapy program delivered through video calls can improve upper limb function in people who had a stroke at least six months ago, compared with the same therapy given in a clinic. Sixty-eight participants will receive modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy three times a week for six weeks, either remotely or in person. The study measures changes in arm movement, spasticity, and motivation to see if the home-based approach is a viable alternative.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy delivered via tele-rehabilitation or in a clinic
What this could lead to
If tele-rehabilitation proves as effective as clinic-based therapy, it could expand access to proven stroke rehabilitation for people who cannot easily travel to a clinic.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial, and tele-rehabilitation may not work as well for everyone, especially those with limited internet access or comfort with technology.
