Study Details
Testing the Effects of Brain and hand muscle stimulation after stroke.
(IRB#: IRB_00193557)
A stroke causes damage to the brain and can affect mobility on one side of the body. This study will test how brain stimulation combined with hand muscle stimulation improves hand movement in people who had a stroke. People in the study will complete medical tests to measure brain, hand, and nerve responses. Being in the study requires attending in-person visits at the study clinic for up to 27 sessions.
