STROKE
2006 study pilot – Clinical study of (6) chronic stroke subjects sponsored by the British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis and conducted jointly by Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital observed qualitative improvements related to increased range of motion, increased grip strength and reduced spasticity of the paretic upper limb. Subjects consistently reported an improved outlook, increased motivation, and decreased effort to perform motor tasks with the paretic limb.
