Combining medications with robotic arm therapy after stroke

This trial is testing whether a combination of three medications — Telmisartan, Cilostazol IR, and Metformin ER — can help stroke survivors gain more arm strength and movement when used together with robotic upper-arm rehabilitation therapy. The medications are designed to improve blood flow and support healing, while the robotic device helps you practice arm movements in a controlled way. Researchers want to see if this combination approach works better than robotic therapy alone.

Many stroke survivors struggle to regain full arm function even after rehabilitation. This medication combination has properties that might support brain healing and improve blood flow, so researchers want to test whether pairing it with robotic therapy could help people recover better arm control and function.
