A study testing LOW INTENSITY TASK ORIENTED MIRROR THERAPY and High Intensity Task Oriented Mirror Therapy in people with Stroke Patients, run by Foundation University Islamabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Stroke remains a major public health disease worldwide ,it usually associating with damage to the motor function and other functional disabilities. Persistent upper extremity dysfunction affects many post strokepatients and is strongly associated with decreased activities of daily living . Read more about this study

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing LOW INTENSITY TASK ORIENTED MIRROR THERAPY and High Intensity Task Oriented Mirror Therapy in people with Stroke Patients, run by Foundation University Islamabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact HIRA NAWAZ, DPT (+92 337-0401414, hiranawaz1414@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
UPPER LIMB MOTOR FUNCTION (time frame: 10 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Apr 2025.
