Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial combined robotic gloves with task-oriented mirror therapy for sub-acute stroke patients — given where I am in my stroke recovery, is my current stage and level of hand weakness similar to what this study focused on, and would that combination approach make sense for me?
2Since this trial has already been completed, has my care team seen or can they access the results, and what did they show about improvements in hand dexterity and motor function?
3The study specifically measured both fine dexterity and gross manual dexterity — which of those areas is my hand currently struggling with most, and would a robotic glove plus mirror therapy program realistically target my specific deficits?
4Robotic glove therapy and mirror therapy are both specialized approaches — are those available at this facility or nearby, and how realistic is it logistically for me to pursue this type of combined rehabilitation program?
5Before exploring this kind of experimental combination therapy, should I first complete a standard hand rehabilitation program, and how would my doctor weigh those two paths given my current recovery timeline?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
