Stroke recovery breakthrough? sensory training boosts arm use
NCT ID NCT05515237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether adding sensory training to a proven arm therapy (Constraint-Induced Movement therapy) can help stroke survivors with mild-to-severe arm and hand weakness. Researchers will enroll 15 adults who are at least 6 months post-stroke. The goal is to see if the combined therapy improves how much and how well they use their affected arm in daily life.
