Study Details
Testing Combining Brain, Nerve, and Hand Stimulation for Hand Recovery of People After Stroke
(IRB#: IRB_00179089)
A stroke causes damage to the brain and can affect mobility on one side of the body. This study will test how combining brain, hand, and nerve stimulation (activity) affects hand movement in people who had a stroke. People in the study will be interviewed and complete medical tests to measure brain, hand, and nerve responses. Being in the study requires attending in-person visits at the study clinic for about 3 to 18 sessions.
