Robotically Augmented Mental Practice
NCT04962698 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This project will develop and test a new paradigm of motor imagery for facilitating neuromotor excitability and performance of distal muscles in the upper limb by adopting a robotic prosthesis and integrating proven procedures for neuromotor facilitation. The scientific purpose of the study is to understand the effect of controlling a detached robotic prosthesis with proximal muscle activation on brain excitability of the resting arm muscles as well as reaction time. The efficacy of this task will be understood by comparing with other task conditions (motor imagery only, 2D visual feedback on a monitor, etc.) that do not involve the robotic prosthesis. The test of the developed system will be performed in healthy able-bodied adults. The feasibility of the system will be examined in post-stroke adults.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04962698
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04962698 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 25 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Georgia Institute of Technology, which has 11 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Stroke appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Visual motor imagery (MI) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04962698 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Georgia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
