Chinese Registry Logs EEG-fNIRS BCI Trial for Arm Recovery After Hemorrhagic Stroke

Summary A brain-computer interface (BCI) trial for upper-limb motor rehabilitation after hemorrhagic stroke was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry under the number ChiCTR2600122859 on April 20, 2026, and has not yet begun recruiting. The study combines electroencephalography (EEG) with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The registration record does not disclose the study design, sample size or sponsor.
Why it matters Most rehabilitation BCIs read EEG alone; pairing it with fNIRS adds a slower hemodynamic channel the electrical signal cannot supply, and that combination is the part worth tracking here. Only the registry stub exists so far, with design, sample size and sponsor all undisclosed, so this is a direction rather than evidence.

BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — A brain-computer interface (BCI) study for upper-limb motor rehabilitation after hemorrhagic stroke has been registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) under registration number ChiCTR2600122859, registered on April 20, 2026, with recruitment status listed as not yet recruiting. The study combines electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for signal acquisition, according to the ChiCTR record republished by the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). The registration record does not disclose study design, sample size, or sponsor details.

BCI applications in stroke rehabilitation typically focus on ischemic stroke, whereas this registration targets hemorrhagic stroke and uses dual-modal signals, which may provide richer neural feedback for rehabilitation training. However, since the registration contains only the title record, the intervention protocol, primary outcome measures, and planned enrollment remain to be disclosed.
