Comparison of EEG-Timed vs. Repetitive Robot Therapy for Chronic Stroke
Exploratory Comparison of Movement Observation/Imagery-Timed Robot Activation and Repetitive Robot Activation on Training Effects and Neurophysiological Responses in Chronic Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This clinical trial compares two types of robotic hand rehabilitation-brain wave (EEG)-timed therapy versus simple repetitive therapy-to see which is more effective for recovering hand function in patients with chronic stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either group and will attend sessions using a wearable robotic hand device while wearing an EEG cap. In the EEG-timed group, the robot assists hand movements when participants successfully imagine moving and create specific brain signals, whereas in the repetitive group, the robot moves the hand automatically at set intervals. Both groups will receive a matched dose of robotic training to ensure a fair comparison of how the brain and hand function respond to the therapy.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Patients with severe, uncontrolled medical conditions.
- Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or renal disease.
- Patients with severe cognitive impairment that prevents them from following instructions for motor tasks (Mini-Mental State Examination \[MMSE\] score of 15 or below).
- Note: Patients with an MMSE score of 15 or below may still be included if the Principal Investigator (or a delegated physician) determines that they have the capacity to perform the tasks and provide informed consent.
Who the study is looking for
- Patients diagnosed with stroke.
- Adults aged 19 to 85 years old at the time of screening.
Age in the registry: 19 years to 85 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
