Hands and mouth: brain study could unlock new stroke rehab

NCT ID NCT06908863

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This pilot study looks at how the brain controls fine hand movements and speech, using MRI scans in 20 healthy right-handed adults aged 18-35. Participants first practice motor and facial tasks for two weeks, then have an MRI while performing similar tasks. The goal is to find shared brain networks, which could one day help stroke patients recover speech through hand exercises.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward new rehabilitation strategies for stroke patients by using hand exercises to improve speech.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 healthy young adults, so results may not apply to patients or lead to direct treatments.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts
