- The ESPRESSo trial found that high-intensity therapy starting within two weeks of stroke did not improve hand and arm recovery beyond standard care, challenging the "more therapy, earlier" approach. - Sixty-four stroke survivors received an extra 90 minutes of daily therapy for three weeks, but showed identical three-month outcomes to patients receiving standard care alone. - The study suggests early stroke recovery is dominated by natural biological repair processes that cannot be enhanced by increasing therapy dose above standard care. - Results indicate that intensive therapy may be more effective later in recovery when patients can engage more fully, rather than during the acute phase.
