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 is studying mirror therapy for arm weakness after stroke or TIA — is mirror therapy something that might fit where I am in my recovery right now, or is it better suited for a certain stage after stroke?
2Since the trial is active but no longer recruiting new participants, are there other ongoing or upcoming studies on mirror therapy for hemiparesis that I could potentially be considered for?
3The trial is measuring motor function as its primary outcome — does that mean it's mainly focused on movement and strength in the affected arm, and how would that compare to the rehabilitation approach I'm currently on?
4Mirror therapy involves using a mirror to create a visual illusion of the affected arm moving — given my specific degree of arm weakness and any other health factors, is there any reason this type of therapy might not be appropriate or safe for me?
5Are there standard rehabilitation options, like conventional physiotherapy or occupational therapy, that my care team would recommend I try first before or alongside an approach like mirror therapy?

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?
