What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two types of telerehabilitation for stroke survivors: a motor relearning program that focuses on retraining specific tasks versus conventional physical therapy delivered remotely. Researchers will measure changes in motor function and balance in adults aged 40-70 who had a stroke 3-12 months ago. The goal is to see whether a structured, task-specific approach can lead to better recovery when done from home via video sessions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a telerehabilitation-based motor relearning program delivered via video conferencing
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a convenient, home-based rehabilitation option for stroke survivors, potentially improving motor function and balance without frequent clinic visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention depends on technology access and patient engagement, which could limit its real-world impact.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: \* Adults aged 40-70 years. * Male or female participants. * Diagnosed with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke 3-12 months prior to enrollment. * Medically stable and cleared to participate in physical rehabilitation. * Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥24. * Able to understand and follow verbal instructions. * Have access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a stable internet connection for telerehabilitation sessions. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: \* MMSE score \<24 or severe cognitive impairment. * Presence of other neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis). * Uncontrolled hypertension or recent cardiac event. * Severe visual, auditory, or communication impairments that prevent participation. * Currently enrolled in another structured rehabilitation program. * Any musculoskeletal or medical condition that would interfere with safe participation in the intervention.
