Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Home-basedExperimentalParticipants in home-based training graoup will receive 1.5 hours/ day, 3 days a week, for 4 contious weeks at home. Participants will receive 2 training stages, including bilateral training with mirror feedback for 30-45 minutes and functional training for 45-60 minutes. Each training stage hase to include above 2 activities.After the end of the home-based training, a four-week wash-out period followed. Then, patients will receive the clinic-based training for 4 continuous weeks. Before and after the treatment, a total of 4 evaluations were conducted, including clinical assessments and blood test (each 9c.c.). One month after the end of the course of treatment will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bilateral training with and without mirror feedback in people with Chronic Stroke, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fugl-Myer Assessment, FMA (time frame: Change from baseline up to 4 weeks immediately after the completion of intervention, and change from 4 weeks up immediately after the completion of intervention up to 3 months after the completion of intervention.). The study lists 21 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02364232, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2017.
