Although AHP has significant clinical implications, rehabilitation strategies have remained fragmented and underexplored. This systematic review aimed to critically evaluate rehabilitation interventions for AHP published between 2006 and 2025, categorize intervention types, and assess clinical outcomes to inform future research and practice. Methods: A structured search was conducted in the PubMed and PsycINFO databases on 31 March 2025, using predefined keywords related to stroke, anosognosia, and rehabilitation. The eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, case\u2013control studies, and case studies. Following title, abstract, and full-text screening, nine studies focusing on rehabilitation interventions for AHP were selected and analyzed. Results: The interventions reviewed included sensorimotor recalibration techniques, neuromodulatory approaches, error-based cognitive training, and self-observation in video replay strategies. Interventions emphasizing motor intention monitoring, error correction, and self-observation were more consistently associated with durable improvements in motor awareness than neglect-based spatial interventions were. However, many studies were limited by small sample sizes and a lack of standardized outcome measures. Assessment methodologies vary widely, highlighting the need for multidimensional theory-driven evaluation tools. Conclusions: Effective rehabilitation for AHP requires strategies targeting disrupted self-monitoring and agency mechanisms, rather than spatial realignment alone. The video self-observation and error-based learning paradigms show particular promise. Future research should focus on controlled trials, longitudinal tracking, and the integration of individualized, mechanism-specific rehabilitation models to optimize outcomes for stroke survivors with AHP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci15090906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,25]],"date-time":"2025-08-25T00:10:36Z","timestamp":1756080636000},"page":"906","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Systematic Review of the Treatment of Anosognosia for Hemiplegia in Stroke"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7808-8259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong Chan","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Eunpyeong St. Marys\u2019 Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea, 1021, Tongil-ro, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul 03312, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5344-0634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junghyeon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Incheon St. Marys\u2019 Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea, 56, Dongsu-ro, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon 21431, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4505-809X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min Wook","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Incheon St. Marys\u2019 Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea, 56, Dongsu-ro, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon 21431, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1097\/00001199-200501000-00004","article-title":"Disturbances of self-awareness and rehabilitation of patients with traumatic brain injury: A 20-year perspective","volume":"20","author":"Prigatano","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
