Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) helps the brain "rewire" itself after stroke, in hopes of improving rehabilitation methods.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who had a stroke at least 6 months ago, resulting in mild to moderate hemiparesis but can still understand and participate in therapy. It's not for those with severe medical conditions, recent botulinum toxin injections, intensive post-stroke rehab, kidney issues, metallic/electronic implants incompatible with MRI, or claustrophobia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) which helps the brain 'rewire' after chronic stroke. Using advanced MRI techniques to observe changes in grey matter and blood flow will infer cellular processes behind brain reorganization during CI therapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive MRI scans and physical rehabilitation exercises rather than drugs or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from remaining still during scans or fatigue from the exercises.
