What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Experimental: RecoveriX with individual EEG calibrationDevice

    RecoveriX applied FES according to individual brainwave by individual EEG calibration for 5 times a week for 4 weeks

  • RecoveriX without individual EEG calibrationDevice

    RecoveriX applied FES according to the brainwave of other subjects regardless of the individual brainwave for 5 times a week for 4 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Fugl-Meyer Assessment - upper extremity

    Fugl-Meyer Assessment is indicator of the level of impairment of upper extremity, with higher scores indicating lower impairment.

    Total scores range from 0 to 66, each item being scored on a 3-point scale (0, cannot perform; 1, partially performs; and 2, fully performs the task).

    Measured: 4 weeks after baseline

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Box and block test

    Box and block test measures unilateral gross manual dexterity. Higher scores indicate better gross manual dexterity.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  2. Jebsen hand function test

    Jebsen hand function test provides a standardized and objective evaluation of fine and gross motor hand function using simulated activities of daily living. Total score is the sum of time taken for each subtest, which are rounded to the nearest second. Shorter times indicate better performance.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  3. 9-hole peg test

    9-hole peg test measures finger dexterity in patients with stroke. Scores are based on the time taken to complete the test activity, recorded in seconds.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  4. Medical Research Council (MRC) scale of affected upper extremity

    The MRC is a standardized set of assessments that measure muscle strength and function.

    The MRC scale of muscle strength uses a score of 0 to 5 to grade the power of a particular muscle group in relation to the movement of a single joint.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  5. Joint position sense

    Joint position sense is tested by holding the most distal joint of a digit by its sides and moving it slightly up or down. First, demonstrate the test with the patient watching so they understand what is wanted then perform the test with their eyes closed.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  6. Sensation of limb movement

    For the ability to sense a sharp object, the best screening test uses a safety pin or other sharp object to lightly prick the face, torso, and 4 limbs; the patient is asked whether the pinprick feels the same on both sides and whether the sensation is dull or sharp.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  7. active range of motion (AROM) of wrist flexion/extension

    active range of motion of wrist flexion and extension

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  8. Modified Ashworth scale

    Modified Ashworth scale measures resistance during passive soft-tissue stretching.

    Scores range from 0-4, with 5 choices. A score of 1 indicates no resistance, and 5 indicates rigidity.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  9. Stroke impact scale

    Stroke impact scale evaluates how stroke has impacted your health and life. Each item is rated in a 5-point Likert scale in terms of the difficulty the patient has experienced in completing each item. Summative scores are generated for each domain, scores range from 0-100.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  10. electroencephalography (EEG) effective connectivity

    EEG effective connectivity describes the causal influences that neural units exert over another.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  11. Stroke rehabilitation motivation scale

    Stroke rehabilitation motivation scale includes 28 items applicable to stroke rehabilitation, adapted from the Sports Motivation Scale. The response to each item is measured on a scale of 1 to 5. Higher score indicates higher rehabilitation motivation level for all items, except three reverse evaluation items (items #5, #12, and #23), for which a higher score indicates lower motivation level.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  12. Intrinsic motivation inventory

    The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory assesses participants' interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, effort, value/usefulness, felt pressure and tension, and perceived choice while performing a given activity, thus yielding six subscale scores. A higher score will indicate more of the concept described in the subscale name.

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

  13. Motor evoked potential

    action potential elicited by noninvasive stimulation of the motor cortex through the scalp

    Measured: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 8 weeks after baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental: RecoveriX with individual EEG calibration and RecoveriX without individual EEG calibration in people with Stroke, run by National Rehabilitation Center, Seoul, Korea 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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Joon-Ho Shin (82-2-901-1884, asfreelyas@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fugl-Meyer Assessment - upper extremity (time frame: 4 weeks after baseline). 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 31 Jul 2020.
