Publication Rate and Consistency of Registered Trials of Motor-Based Stroke Rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the publication rate of motor-rehabilitation trials poststroke and the consistency between registry records and their corresponding main publications in trial design, primary objectives and outcomes, eligibility criteria, and sample size.

Methods

We searched 18 clinical trial registries to identify randomized controlled trials of motor-based stroke rehabilitation registered after July 2005 and completed before April 2017. Eligible trials included adults with stroke, with at least one outcome measure related to motor function. Information in the registry records was compared with that of their main publications, if any.

Results

Three hundred twenty-three trials met our eligibility criteria; we were unable to find a peer-reviewed publication repor
