Brain State-dependent PCMS in Chronic Stroke (NCT04830163)
Upregulating Corticospinal Function After Stroke Using Brain State-dependent Paired Corticomotoneuronal Stimulation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
After stroke, people often have difficulty using their hands. Combined brain and nerve stimulation can strengthen the neural pathways that control hand function. In this study, we will deliver combined brain and nerve stimulation during specific time windows that increase activation of neural pathways underlying hand function. We will compare the effects of combined brain and nerve stimulation during these optimal time windows to the effects of combined brain and nerve stimulation applied during random time windows on post-stroke hand function.
