Rehabilitating (Stroke-induced) Apraxia With Direct Current Stimulation

NCT03185234 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 117

Last updated 2022-05-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of the clinical trial is to investigate whether weak transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can ameliorate the motor cognitive deficit apraxia during stroke rehabilitation. Stroke patients with apraxia will either receive a real stimulation or a sham stimulation (placebo) for 10 minutes at a time on 5 consecutive days during their in-patient stay in a rehabilitation center. Additionally, motor tasks are performed before and after the stimulation. The effect of the weak current stimulation on motor function is assessed 3-4 days after the last stimulation and 3 months after enrollment.
