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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 adding motor imagery—mentally rehearsing movements without actually moving—to standard physical therapy can improve arm function in stroke survivors. About 51 adults who had a stroke at least 3 months ago will be split into three groups: standard rehab alone, or standard rehab plus 15 minutes of motor imagery either 3 or 5 days per week. Researchers will measure changes in arm movement and daily living skills at the end of treatment and 12 weeks later.

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 training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost mental practice technique to boost arm recovery after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 51 participants. The added benefit of motor imagery may be small or not clinically meaningful, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.

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 51 people

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

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.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Being aged 18 years or older * Having a diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) * Being in the late subacute phase (more than 3 months post-stroke) or chronic phase (more than 6 months post-stroke) following stroke onset * Presence of unilateral extremity hemiparesis * Upper extremity stage between II and V for both proximal and distal segments according to the Modified Brunnstrom Classification * A score of 21 or higher on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Exclusion Criteria: * Severe spasticity in the affected upper extremity, defined as a Modified Ashworth Scale score \> 2 * Presence of impaired consciousness, or severe hearing, visual impairment or global aphasia. * Musculoskeletal disorders affecting upper extremity motor function, such as fracture or arthritis in the affected upper limb
