Remote rehab: stroke patients try video therapy at home
NCT ID NCT07389811
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether online occupational therapy sessions could help stroke survivors improve their ability to perform everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, and using the phone. Fifteen patients on a waiting list for rehab were randomly assigned to receive remote guidance or stay on the waitlist. After two months, researchers measured changes in independence and arm use using standard scales.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telerehabilitation (remote occupational therapy sessions)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient way for stroke survivors to improve daily living skills from home, reducing wait times for rehab.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects are modest.
