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
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study tests whether applying vibration to a specific muscle or the whole arm can reduce spasticity (stiffness) and improve arm control in people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. Fifty-four participants will receive either focal muscle vibration or whole upper limb vibration along with standard rehab. The goal is to see which method works better for easing muscle tightness and helping with daily movements.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
vibration therapy (focal muscle vibration or whole upper limb vibration)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-drug therapy to reduce muscle stiffness and improve arm movement after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. Vibration therapy may not work for everyone and could cause discomfort.
