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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 mental imagery training to robotic hand exercises improves arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Forty participants will receive either robotic hand training alone or combined with mental imagery over 7 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination leads to better movement and coordination.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mental imagery training combined with EMG-driven soft robotic hand training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective rehabilitation approach for improving hand and arm function after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be modest and not lead to a widely adopted therapy.

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 40 people

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

Started

Expected to finish

Nov 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.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants clinically diagnosed with stroke in chronic stage (6 months after the onset of stroke) with a pure unilateral motor paresis after stroke. * 18-70 years of age. * Sufficient cognition to follow simple instructions and understand the content and purpose of study (MMSE score 28) * Able to sit up for at least 45 minutes. * Detectable residual signals from the affected side's Flexor digitorum (FD) and Extensor Digitorum (ED) muscles. * Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score of finger extensor less than or to 3 * Ability to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe dysphasia with inadequate communication. * Any additional medical or psychological condition affecting their ability to comply with the study protocol. * History of other neurological disease or psychiatric disorders, including alcoholism and substance abuse
