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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are testing whether a rehabilitation robot combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation can improve upper limb movement in people who had a stroke at least six months earlier. The study enrolls 48 adults with moderate arm impairment. Participants receive up to 20 sessions of device-assisted, task-oriented training over several weeks, and researchers measure changes in motor function and muscle spasticity.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A rehabilitation robot combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this combined approach could offer a more effective way to help stroke survivors regain arm and hand function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study. The training may not produce meaningful improvements, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 48 people

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

Started

Oct 2013

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

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.

Ages

18 to 70 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: The recruited subjects will * have unilateral ischemic brain injury or intracerebral hemorrhage at least 6 months after the onset of single stroke * have moderate level of motor impairment in the affected upper limb, assessed by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (9\<shoulder/elbow\<27; 6\<wrist/hand\<18) * have enough cognition to be able to follow the training protocol as assessed by Mini-metal State Examination (MMSE\>21) * have detectable EMG signals (3 times of the standard deviation above the baseline) from the upper limb muscles.
