RESPARK - Brain Q for Chronic Stroke

This study is testing a device called the Q Therapeutic System (BQ 3.0) for people who have had a stroke. This system uses very low-level electromagnetic fields to stimulate brain networks, aiming to reduce disability and help the brain recover. The study will look at how well the BQ 3.0 works and if it is safe. Researchers will measure changes in arm movement and overall disability to see if the treatment is successful. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 80 years old, had a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) between 6 months and 5 years ago, and have certain levels of arm weakness. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-center study with 25 participants, where everyone receives the BQ 3.0 treatment. It is an open-label study, meaning both you and the researchers will know you are receiving the treatment.
What's involved
You would have 5 treatment sessions per week for 3 months, with each session lasting up to 60 minutes. During sessions, you'll receive 40 minutes of stimulation with arm exercises, followed by 10 minutes of balance and leg exercises.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be checked at 3 months and 6 months after starting the interventions.

  • Change in Fugl-Meyer Assessment - Upper ExtremityBaseline, 3 months after, and 6 months after start of interventions

    A performance measure used to assess arm function. 33 items are scored on a scale of 0 to 2, where 0=cannot perform, 1=performs partially and 2=performs fully. An increase in score reflects an improvement in arm function.

  • Change from Baseline in Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)Baseline, 3 months after, and 6 months after the start of interventions

    A 7-point scale used to measure the degree of disability or dependence in daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke. Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death). A decrease in score reflects a reduction in disability and improved independence.
