ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of therapy using virtual reality (VR) to help people recover movement in their arms after a stroke. The researchers want to see if a special VR therapy that involves using both hands together to complete tasks (called Virtual Reality Multisensory Cooperative Task-Oriented Mirror Therapy) works better than traditional VR mirror therapy, which focuses on one hand at a time. They will look at how these therapies improve arm function and brain activity in people who have had a stroke on one side of their body.

To join this study, participants need to have had a stroke affecting one side of their body at least six months ago, be right-handed before their stroke, and have good mental function (tested by a simple mental exam). People with serious vision problems, major thinking or perception difficulties, or other brain diseases cannot take part. If you join, you can expect to participate in VR therapy sessions where you’ll perform tasks designed to help improve arm movement while the therapy tracks and supports your progress. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to find better ways to help stroke survivors regain arm use and improve their quality of life.
