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 study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of task-oriented mirror therapy in enhancing upper limb motor function and daily living activities in stroke patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either high-intensity or low-intensity mirror therapy, with the goal of determining which approach yields better outcomes. The study will measure improvements in motor skills and overall functionality, focusing on patients with intact cognitive abilities. The research design is experimental, utilizing a randomized control trial methodology to ensure robust results.
