Summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of early EEG-based non-invasive brain-computer interface (EEG-BCI) training as an add-on to standard early rehabilitation in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after reperfusion therapy. Eligible participants are adults aged 18 to 80 years with unilateral limb motor dysfunction after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Participants will be randomized to receive either standard early rehabilitation plus closed-loop EEG-BCI dual-module virtual hand and gait training, or standard early rehabilitation alone.

The EEG-BCI intervention includes upper-limb virtual hand training and lower-limb gait/ankle dorsiflexion training, delivered twice daily for approximately 20 minutes per session over 5 consecutive days. The primary outcome is the change in Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) score from baseline (T0) to Day 30. Secondary outcomes include upper- and lower-limb motor function, ambulation, neurological status, disability, and activities of daily living. Safety and feasibility outcomes will also be assessed.

Conditions

  • Acute Ischemic Stroke

Interventions

DEVICE

EEG-based non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) virtual hand/gait training system

Closed-loop EEG-based non-invasive brain-computer interface training added to standard early rehabilitation, including virtual hand training for the upper limb and gait/ankle dorsiflexion training for the lower limb. Training is delivered twice daily, approximately 20 minutes per session, for 5 consecutive days.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Early Rehabilitation

Participants receive site-standard early rehabilitation according to the local rehabilitation protocol.
