Modulating Interaction of Motor Learning Networks in Rehabilitation of Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), Placebo (Sham) continuous theta burst stimulation, and 1 other intervention for Stroke and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study uses a form on non-invasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation to understand 1) understand how the brain learns post-stroke and 2) assess non-invasive brain stimulation as an addition to current stroke rehabilitation approaches. In two study arms the investigators will compare the effect of active transcranial magnetic stimulation paired with motor practice with placebo (or sham) transcranial magnetic stimulation paired with the same motor practice.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Active cTBS over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex that has an effect upon dorsolateral prefrontal cortex brain activity.
Sham stimulation over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex that looks and sounds like active cTBS but does not have any effect upon dorsolateral prefrontal cortex brain activity.
Upper limb reaching task to be practiced. Practice will be paired with Active/Sham stimulation. Twenty trials will occur before Active/Sham stimulation. 40 trials will be practiced after Active/Sham stimulation.
