Virtual reality boosts brain recovery in stroke patients
NCT ID NCT07506486
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using immersive virtual reality (VR) games can improve thinking skills and daily independence in people who had a stroke 2-4 months ago. 22 participants will be randomly assigned to either VR training or standard paper-and-pencil exercises. The goal is to see if VR leads to better cognitive function and ability to perform everyday tasks.
