Stroke, Upper Extremity Paresis
Synchronized Brain and Hand Stimulation After Stroke
Among the 795,000 individuals who sustain a stroke annually in the United States, 65% continue to experience moderate-to-severe impairments in one hand six months or more, which limits their ability to perform daily tasks.
- Trial name
- NCT04502290
- Testing
- Combined Non-invasive brain stimulation and functional electrical hand stimulation
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 10 people
