Effects of Intermitted Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) on Motor Recovery of Upper Extremity in Chronic Stroke Patients

NCT07073248 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

Last updated 2025-11-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects and clinical feasibility of non-invasive brain stimulation protocols, specifically intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation, as part of rehabilitation interventions for motor recovery of upper extremity in the chronic phase after stroke.

It also seeks to explore the underlying mechanisms by investigating changes of functional and structural brain networks.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Hemiplegia
  • Hemiparesis After Stroke
  • Hand Functionality
  • Chronic Stroke Patients

Interventions

DEVICE

Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation

iTBS protocol: 600 pulses at 80% of AMT for 190 sec on the ipsilesional motor cortex, targeted with the support of a neuronavigational system, 15 sessions over a period of 5 weeks

DEVICE

Sham Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation

It is identical to its active version, replicates operational sounds, and delivers a very shallow magnetic field to mimic the sensation of magnetic stimulation
