Immersive virtual reality with synchronous neurostimulation for upper-limb recovery after stroke: a randomized feasibility trial

Nature Medicine, Published online: 26 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04486-4

A multimodal platform combining immersive virtual reality with a synchronous sensory neurostimulation protocol outperformed conventional rehabilitation in individuals with chronic stroke, driving upper-limb motor gains, restored body representation and improved tactile acuity while enabling objective kinematic tracking of recovery.
