A Brain Centered Neuroengineering Approach for Motor Recovery After Stroke: Combined Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Brain-Computer Interface Training
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating rTMS and BCI Training for Hemiparesis and Stroke. Completed, enrolled 3 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and motor-imagery-based brain computer interface (BCI) training is effective for enhancing motor recovery after stroke. The PI's hypothesis is that, in comparison with traditional physical therapy alone, subjects receiving supplementary rTMS and BCI training will show greater functional improvements in hand motor ability over time as well as recovery of normal motor connectivity patterns.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Low frequency rTMS (either real or sham) will be applied to the contralesional hemisphere at a rate of 1Hz for 10 minutes.
BCI training will consist of a series of EEG-based motor-imagery tasks with virtual feedback presented on a computer screen.
