Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults who had a single stroke in the last six months. It tests a sensor glove that measures touch perception.

Age
18 to 85 years
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
A single stroke confirmed by MRI or CT, within the last six months.
Biomarker or test result
A demographically adjusted total score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) between 15.5 and 22.23.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Behaviour or thinking problems, or poor cooperation, that would get in the way of active therapy
  • A fixed stiff deformity of the affected limb that would get in the way of active therapy (ankylosis, Modified Ashworth Scale = 4)
  • Severe problems with eyesight

The registry criteria, word for word

Who can take part

  • a single event, verified by MRI or CT
  • age between 18 and 85 years
  • time since stroke within six months
  • a demographically adjusted total score of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) between 15.5 and 22.23

Who cannot take part

  • fixed contraction deformity in the affected limb that would interfere with active therapy (ankylosis, Modified Ashworth Scale = 4)
  • behavioural and cognitive disorders and/or reduced compliance that would interfere with active therapy
  • severe deficits in visual acuity

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The aim of the SCORES Haptic Glove Study is to assess the technical features, safety, and reliability of a sensor-equipped glove designed to evaluate tactile perception. This will help guide further technical and functional improvements to finalize the device. The secondary goal is to validate a new tactile sensitivity index based on data collected using the glove. This will be done in a randomized controlled multicenter study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06109324) aimed to compare the effectiveness of robotic upper limb rehabilitation to conventional treatment in improving cognitive and sensory deficits, as well as evaluating the impact of these deficits on motor recovery.

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
