Improving Stroke Motor Control With Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Functional Electrical Stimulation
This study is looking at new ways to improve hand movement in people who have had a stroke at least six months ago and still have weakness on one side of their body. It tests two interventions: transcranial direct current stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation) and Contralaterally Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation (an electrical stimulator that helps open your hand). Researchers want to see how these treatments affect your hand motor control and brain activity. The study aims to enroll 15 participants aged 21 or older who can follow simple commands and have some movement in their unaffected arm. The main goals are to measure changes in brain excitability and reaction time up to one hour after the intervention. The current status of this study is unclear.
