Frontal and Parietal Contributions to Proprioception and Motor Skill Learning
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation and Sham theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation for Basic Science. Completed, enrolled 118 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand how the different regions of the brain affect our sense of limbs in space (proprioception) and in turn our hand movements (motor skill learning). This information might help us one day to generate better rehabilitation protocols to help patients with movement deficits.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Continuous theta burst TMS (cTBS) will be delivered to a location on the head. cTBS consists of 600 low-intensity TMS pulses delivered over 40 seconds in a pattern of 50 Hz triplets delivered at 5 Hz.
Continuous theta burst TMS (cTBS) will be delivered near the head, while an unplugged TMS coil is held at the vertex. No current will be induced in the head with this procedure.
