Study Summary

This trial will test whether a targeted brain stimulation called HD-tDCS can help reduce muscle synergy impairment, which is a major limitation to the recovery of independent function after a stroke.

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~baseline (initial visit), before (within 30 min range) and immediately after (within 30 mins range) the intervention
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and baseline (initial visit), before (within 30 min range) and immediately after (within 30 mins range) the intervention for reporting.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change in a subset of Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity assessment which is mainly related to the muscle synergies
Secondary outcome measures
Change in Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-evoke motor-evoked potentials (MEP)
Other outcome measures
Change in Brain symmetry index
