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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether combining a brain-computer interface with virtual reality can improve arm and hand movement in stroke survivors. Twelve adults who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago will each try both the VR-enhanced training and a standard brain-computer interface training. The goal is to see if the VR version leads to better recovery of movement and daily function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Motor Imagery-based Brain-Computer Interface coupled with Virtual Reality (MI-BCI-VR)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective rehabilitation method for stroke survivors to regain arm and hand function.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-stage trial with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technology is complex and may not be practical for widespread use.

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

About 12 people

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

Started

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

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.

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: * Clinical diagnosis of stroke confirmed by neuroimaging, with resulting upper limb hemiparesis. * Time since stroke between 6 and 24 months at the time of selection. * Sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow the intervention procedures. * Spasticity score \<3 on the Modified Ashworth Scale in upper limb muscle groups. * Adults aged 18 to 80 years. * Ability to remain seated for approximately 2 hours. * Motivation to participate and capacity to provide informed consent. * Undergoing conventional rehabilitation therapy during the study period. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe communication difficulties preventing comprehension or execution of instructions. * Skin lesions, allergies, or metal implants in the cephalic region, or history of craniectomy, that hinder electrode placement or interfere with EEG signal acquisition. * Concomitant neurological or musculoskeletal conditions affecting upper limb motor function. * Other neurological, musculoskeletal, or psychiatric conditions that may compromise participation or study outcomes (e.g., major depression, severe visual impairment, photosensitive epilepsy, frequent vertigo or dizziness). * Upper limb impairment due to a previous stroke.
