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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This international study tests whether a robotic exoskeleton (Gloreha Sinfonia) combined with standard therapy can improve arm function in people who recently had a stroke. 130 participants will be randomly assigned to either robotic therapy plus standard care or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if the robotic device leads to better voluntary 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
Robotic exoskeleton (Gloreha Sinfonia) for upper limb rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective way to regain arm function after a stroke, potentially improving independence and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 130 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The robotic device may not provide a meaningful advantage over standard therapy, and some participants may find it uncomfortable or inconvenient.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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

About 130 people

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Both sexes * Age 18-90 years * Paresis of the upper limb following a recent cerebrovascular event (subacute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke) * Moderate to mild muscle weakness in the thumb opponens, common finger flexors, and wrist flexors, assessed with complete joint movement in absence of gravity, Medical Research Council Scale (MRC) ≥ 2 * Time from acute event \<90 days * Ability to understand and sign the study informed consent * Ability to perform study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of other overlapping neurological disorders * Presence of osteoarticular or neuromuscular disorders affecting upper limb mobility * Severe psychiatric disorders * Severe cognitive (MMSE ≤ 17) and/or language impairment compromising exercise comprehension * Botulinum toxin injection in the affected upper limb within the last 60 days or planned during the study and follow-up period * Open wounds, infections, or unprotected skin lesions on the upper limb * Severe spasticity of the upper limb (biceps and wrist and finger flexors) (MAS \> 3) * Inability to adhere to the exercise program due to low compliance * Participants who have not signed the informed consent for the study
