Pupil-Indexed Noninvasive Neuromodulation for Paresis
This study is investigating a new way to potentially help people with paresis (muscle weakness or partial paralysis), especially after a stroke. It's testing Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation, where mild electrical pulses are applied to the skin on your ear. This is compared to a "Sham" treatment, where electrodes are placed but no electricity is given. Researchers believe this stimulation might activate brain pathways that help with learning and recovery. They will measure changes in your ability to control force before, one week after, and one month after the treatment to see if it helps. The study is looking for 110 participants, aged 18 to 75, who have experienced a stroke at least six months ago resulting in hand impairment. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 110 participants. It compares Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation to a Sham treatment.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your force control will be measured at pre-treatment, one week after treatment, and one month after treatment.
