KULMINATE Pilot Study for Chronic Stroke Recovery

This study is testing a new, non-invasive brain stimulation called kTMP (kilohertz transcutaneous magnetic perturbations) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke at least 12 months ago. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 80 years old, have some arm weakness from a stroke, and can follow simple instructions. The main goal is to see if kTMP, when combined with simple arm exercises, can improve your arm's range of motion (how far you can move your arm and hand) after 6 weeks of treatment. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design
This is a pilot study with 12 participants. It is a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study, meaning neither you nor the study staff will know if you are receiving kTMP or a sham (inactive) treatment.
What's involved
After initial assessments, you will be randomly assigned to a group. kTMP or sham treatment will be given three times a week for 6 weeks, starting within one week of randomization.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your arm's range of motion will be checked at the end of treatment, and then again 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment finishes. There will also be an assessment 4 weeks into the treatment.

  • Range of Joint Motion (ROM)6 weeks

    defined as the standard deviation of the joint angle time series for a given trial. The median ROM will be calculated for eleven degrees of freedom and then averaged. If there are joints which appear to be compensatory, they will be removed from the analysis
