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 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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a robotic arm exoskeleton, combined with standard physical therapy, can improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Sixty participants will do 15 sessions of robotic training plus 20 minutes of standard rehab. Researchers will measure changes in arm movement, brain activity, and daily life impact.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bilateral robotic exoskeleton (ALEx-RS) plus standard physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective rehab approach for regaining arm movement after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The robotic treatment may not prove better than standard therapy alone, 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 60 people

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

Expected to start

Jul 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

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 80 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.

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: * Subjects aged between 18 and 80 years, of either sex * Subjects able to understand and provide, or have provided on their behalf, informed consent * History of a single unilateral ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular event in the chronic phase (\> 6 months) * Subjects with mild to moderate functional impairment of the right or left upper limb (ability to perform antigravity active movements) Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects with cognitive deficits that impair understanding of the required tasks (MMSE score corrected for age and education \< 24/30) * Subjects with severe visual deficits * Subjects with upper limb spasticity preventing the use of robotic devices (spasticity measured using the Modified Ashworth Scale \> 3) * Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent * Left-handed subjects
