Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Task-Specific Practice for Post-stroke Neglect

NCT02892097 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1

Last updated 2021-09-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of three different rehabilitation training sessions that combine non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS) with arm rehabilitation training (repetitive task-specific practice, RTP) for individuals with unilateral spatial neglect following stroke. This study is designed to determine the effects of tDCS + RTP on the excitability in the brain, attention to the affected side, and arm movement ability.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

tDCS

tDCS is a form of noninvasive brain stimulation. Electrodes are placed on the scalp (parietal or primary motor cortex) and deliver a low level of direct current (2mA). tDCS will be delivered for 30 minutes in conjunction with repetitive task-specific practice for the arm/hand.

DEVICE

sham tDCS

Sham tDCS will be delivered for 30 minutes in conjunction with repetitive task-specific practice for the arm/hand.

BEHAVIORAL

Repetitive task-specific practice (RTP)

Participants will practice using their paretic arm/hand to complete functional movements during each (3) 30 minute training session.
