Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study compares standard hand-arm training with a version that also includes thinking tasks, like memory or attention exercises, for people recovering from a stroke. Twenty adults aged 40-70 with mild to moderate arm weakness will take part. The goal is to see if combining physical and mental tasks leads to better arm function and thinking skills than standard therapy alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) with and without added cognitive tasks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective rehab approach that improves both arm movement and thinking skills after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The added cognitive tasks might not provide extra benefit over standard training.
