About this study

Official title: Immersive Virtual Reality Based Training for Motor Function Rehabilitation of Upper Limbs After Subacute Stroke:Study Protocol of a Randomized Clinical Trial

The investigators will conduct a single-blind, randomized controlled trial of 60 patients with subacute stroke. Patients will be randomly assigned into a control group and an intervention group. The intervention group will participate in immersion VR training for 3 weeks. The control group will receive for traditional rehabilitation training for 3 weeks. Then, the patients will be reevaluated to determine changes in upper extremity function, cognitive function, cortical and subcortical activation patterns, and performance of activities of daily living after the baseline assessment.

Being tested
immersion virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation, traditional rehabilitation training

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • immersion virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitationOther

    Intervention group received VR-based rehabilitation,including Virtual kitchen and so on.The patients took part in the exercise program for 30 minutes each day, five times per week, for 3 weeks. All subjects received physiotherapy, which accounts for an average of 30 minutes of physiotherapy per day on tolerance.

  • traditional rehabilitation trainingOther

    The traditional rehabilitation training included occupational therapy and physical therapy, patients took part in the traditional rehabilitation training for 60 minutes each day, five times per week, for 3 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline Arm Movement Ability at 3 months

    The Fugl-Meyer Assessment

    Measured: Baseline and at 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from Baseline Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at 3 months

    The Barthel index

    Measured: Baseline and at 3 months

  2. Change from Baseline Cognitive Function at 3 months

    the Korea-MiniMental Status Evaluation (K-MMSE)

    Measured: Baseline and at 3 months

  3. Change from Baseline Cortical and Subcortical Activation Patterns at 3 months

    Functional MRI (fMRI)

    Measured: Baseline and at 3 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted22 Mar 2017
  2. Study start20 Apr 2017
  3. Primary completion1 May 2022
  4. Study completion1 Jan 2023

Why it stopped: The trials were stopped after recruiting 60% of the planned sample after a median of 3 months follow-up and one interim analysis. The immersive virtual reality based training has proven to work.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The trials were stopped after recruiting 60% of the planned sample after a median of 3 months follow-up and one interim analysis. The immersive virtual reality based training has proven to work.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change from Baseline Arm Movement Ability at 3 months (time frame: Baseline and at 3 months). 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 NCT03086889, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
