Optimizing Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Motor Recovery From Hemiparesis

NCT03124147 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 38

Last updated 2017-04-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of different polarities of transcranial direct current stimulation paired with intensive motor training in recovery of upper extremity function in individuals with severe post-stroke hemiparesis. The hypothesis is that more severely impaired individuals will derive greater benefit from anodal stimulation of the ipsilesional hemisphere or cathodal stimulation of the contralesional hemisphere than dual stimulation (anodal applied to the ipsilesional hemisphere and cathodal applied to the contralesional hemisphere.)

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Cerebrovascular Accident

Interventions

DEVICE

Neuroconn Eldith stimulator by Magstim
