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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 small pilot study tested whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) that gives real-time feedback during mental practice could improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least a year ago. Seven participants did mental imagery exercises with or without real brainwave feedback, alongside standard physical therapy. The goal was to see if the BCI approach is feasible and might lead to better movement and brain changes.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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

7 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Mar 2012

Finished

Jul 2015

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 85 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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 ≥18 years * First-ever cortical ischemic stroke affecting the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory * ≥12 months since stroke onset * Stroke diagnosis confirmed by structural neuroimaging (MRI or CT) * Lesion localization confirmed based on clinical and radiological criteria Exclusion Criteria: * Complete hand plegia * Presence of language or cognitive impairment, as assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) * Presence of attentional deficits * Presence of visual impairments that may interfere with task performance * Diagnosis of depression * Pre-stroke dependence in activities of daily living * Left-handedness, as assessed by the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory * Inability to perform motor imagery tasks * Contraindications to MRI (e.g., metallic implants, implanted electronic devices, or claustrophobia)
