Rehabilitation of upper limb function after stroke using mirror therapy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of mirror therapy using an Intensive Visual Simulation (IVS) device for patients with hemiparesis following a stroke. The study aims to compare the outcomes of structured movement repetition programs with conventional rehabilitation over a six-week period. By utilizing the IVS device, which creates an immersive experience for patients, the trial seeks to enhance motor control and functional abilities of the affected upper limb. The trial is multicentric and randomized, focusing on patients in the sub-acute phase of stroke recovery.
