NCT ID NCT06704074
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training in a simulated home environment can improve arm and hand function in people recovering from a stroke. Researchers will compare VR-based task-oriented training to standard therapy in 86 participants. They will also use brain scans to see how the training affects brain activity.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more engaging and effective way to improve arm movement and daily living skills for stroke survivors.
