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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tested whether combining a hand force control training device (TIPr) with mirror visual feedback can improve hand function and brain activity in stroke survivors. Five stroke patients with hand weakness used the devices while researchers measured hand strength, dexterity, and brain oxygen levels. The goal was to see if this combination could help restore hand movement, which is crucial for daily activities.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Force control training device (TIPr) and mirror visual feedback device
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could point toward a new hand rehabilitation method for stroke survivors to improve hand strength and dexterity.
What could go wrong
This was a very small study with only 5 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The approach is still early and needs larger trials to confirm benefits.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Age 20 or older and not participating in any other experimental studies during the study period. * 2\. Patients diagnosed with unilateral cerebral embolism or intracerebral hemorrhage. * 3\. Scores on the Fogel-Meyer Motor Scale-Upper Limb between 20 and 66 (scores indicate poor to full motor function on the affected upper limb), or Brunnstrom stage II or higher for both the proximal and distal upper limbs. * 4\. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, based on educational level: at least 16 for those with no education, at least 21 for those with elementary school education, and at least 24 for those with junior high school education or higher. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Patients with unilateral cerebral hemisphere damage as diagnosed by CT scan. * 2\. Upper limb joint deformity, history of complex or major hand surgery on one hand, or severe hand arthritis. * 3\. Any visual or hearing impairment that would affect experimental performance or prevent compliance with experimental instructions. * 4\. Patients with severe hemispheric neglect. * 5\. Aphasia, which makes it difficult to understand or respond to multiple written or spoken instructions. * 6\. Other factors that may affect participation in the experiment, such as body part loss.
