Motor Excitability Study of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) in Chronic Stroke

NCT02960009 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2022-11-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

High definition tDCS will be conducted to both stroke and healthy subjects on primary motor cortex area to explore the motor excitability changes before and after stimulation. In next stage, a randomized control trial with 20-session training will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of transient modulation of cortical excitability through multisite HD-tDCS with EMG driven robot hand training, a sham stimulation with EMG-driven robot hand training will be applied as control group.

DEVICE

HD-tDCS

Different stimulation protocols will be applied to the primary motor cortex of stroke patients. After 20-minute stimulation, EMG-driven robot hand training will be conducted.
