Official title
Modulation of Motor Learning in Chronic Stroke Patients by Transcranial DC Stimulation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
No universally successful therapy exists that promotes recovery of motor function after a stroke, the main cause of long-term disability among adults. The purpose of this study is to develop strategies to improve recovery of lost motor function. It will combine motor skills training with a brain-stimulating technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Healthy adult volunteers and adult stroke patients will be enrolled in this study. Participants will come to NIH for a clinical and neurological exam, and, if necessary, an MRI \[magnetic resonance imaging\] examination. Participants will return for 4 sessions; each lasting approximately 3 hours. The first will be a practice session during which participants will become familiar with the motor skills required of them in this study, such as performing finger movements on a keyboard, pinching, tapping, making wrist movements, and lifting small items. In sessions 2 and 3, participants will perform the motor skills they practiced in session 1 while receiving tDCS. During session 4, they will receive tDCS only, with no performance of motor skills. During tDCS, investigators will place electrodes with a gel on participants' heads and pass the tDCS current between these two electrodes. tDCS is a painless procedure. Participants will receive up to $420 in compensation for their involvement in this study. ...
