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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial asks whether adding motor imagery—mentally rehearsing hand movements without physically moving—to robot-assisted hand rehabilitation can improve daily living skills in people recovering from stroke. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either robot-assisted hand therapy alone or the same therapy plus motor imagery, three times a week for six weeks. The goal is to see if the combined approach leads to greater independence in activities like eating, dressing, and personal care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robot-assisted hand rehabilitation using a soft robotic glove, combined with motor imagery training (mental rehearsal of hand movements)
What this could lead to
If effective, this combination could offer a more powerful rehabilitation strategy to help stroke survivors regain independence in daily activities like eating and dressing.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The added benefit of motor imagery over robot therapy alone remains uncertain.

Study facts

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

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.

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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: * Aged 18 years or older * Diagnosis of stroke * Impairment of upper extremity function, particularly hand function * Modified Ashworth Scale grade of 2 or below in the wrist and finger flexors * Hand and finger range of motion sufficient for safe application of the robotic hand rehabilitation glove * Attention and cooperation sufficient to participate in motor imagery training Exclusion Criteria: * Severe cognitive, visual, or hearing impairment * Additional neurological or orthopaedic disease affecting the upper extremity * Modified Ashworth Scale grade above 2 in the wrist and finger flexors * Marked contracture, advanced joint restriction, or pain preventing the intervention * Skin problems, open wounds, or infection preventing the use of the robotic hand rehabilitation glove * Inability to attend the intervention program regularly
