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 compared PNF techniques against mirror therapy for stroke or TIA recovery, and it used the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale to measure motor function — can you help me understand what those Fugl-Meyer scores actually mean in terms of real-world movement and daily life improvements?
2Since this trial has already been completed, have the results been published anywhere, and if so, what did they show about whether PNF techniques or mirror therapy worked better for upper or lower limb recovery after stroke?
3Mirror therapy and PNF are both rehabilitation approaches I could potentially pursue — based on what this trial found, would either of these be appropriate for my specific type of stroke or TIA, and where would they fit within my current recovery plan?
4This study was listed as 'Phase NA,' which often means it's a rehabilitation or behavioral study rather than a drug trial — does that change how confident you'd be in applying its findings to my care compared to a standard Phase 3 drug trial?
5Are there standard rehabilitation programs already available to me that use either PNF techniques or mirror therapy, so we could discuss those options without needing to wait for or join a separate research study?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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.
