About this study

Official title: Effect of Dual Site-Dual Channel Non-invasive Brain Stimulation for Recovery of Motor Function in Healthy Subjects

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dual site-dual channel non-invasive brain stimulation for recovery of motor function in healthy subjects. Simultaneous dual site-dual channel stimulation was applied by using two sets of transcranial direct current stimulation devices. All subjects will go through four conditions of transcranial direct current stimulation with for 30 minutes. Four conditions are 1) Dual stimulation: i) anodal stimulation on right primary motor cortex and cathodal stimulation on left primary motor cortex, ii) anodal stimulation on right premotor cortex and cathodal stimulation on left supraorbital area. 2) M1 stimulation: anodal stimulation on right primary motor cortex and cathodal stimulation on left primary motor cortex; 3) PMC stimulation: anodal stimulation on right premotor cortex and cathodal stimulation on left supraorbital area. 4) sham stimulation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in motor evoked potential

    measure the motor threshold and amplitude of motor evoked potential in first dorsal interosseous muscle

    Measured: Baseline and after intervention (approximately 30 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in sequential motor task

    measures motor functional and dexterity of hand

    Measured: Baseline and after intervention (approximately 30 minutes)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing M1 stimulation and PMC stimulation in people with Healthy, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in motor evoked potential (time frame: Baseline and after intervention (approximately 30 minutes)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2019.
