Which stroke rehab works best? new trial pits mirror therapy against cognitive training
NCT ID NCT07546864
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study compares three rehabilitation approaches for people recovering from a stroke: mirror therapy (using a mirror to trick the brain into thinking the affected limb is moving), cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP, a problem-solving strategy to achieve personal goals), and conventional occupational therapy. All participants also receive robotic balance training. The trial involves 45 adults who are 3 to 12 months post-stroke and have some movement recovery. They will receive therapy for 4 weeks (5 sessions per week) and be followed for 3 months to see which approach best improves motor function, daily activities, and quality of life.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which rehabilitation approach works best for improving motor function and daily living skills after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapies are behavioral, so individual effort and consistency matter.
