Phase-dependent Evaluation of Motor Cortex Excitability With TMS in Stroke

NCT04968743 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2025-11-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on motor cortex excitability in individuals who have suffered stroke and to study the influence of the phase of the oscillatory rhythm (mu frequency) on motor excitability in stroke individuals.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

TMS will be administrated with a Magstim 70mm figure-8 coil allowing for focal stimulation. Single-pulse TMS will be applied at different phases, (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees - 4 stimulation conditions), of the ongoing mu-rhythm. Positioning of the TMS coil will be neuronavigated based on individual MRI scans. Stimulation will be applied in a closed-loop fashion while the participant is at rest and their EEG activity is recorded.
