BCI-assisted MI Intervention in Subacute Stroke

The PROMOTOER: a BCI -Based Intervention That Promotes Upper Limb Functional Motor Recovery. A Randomized Clinical Trial to Test Long-term Efficacy and to Identify Determinants of Response to Intervention in Subacute Stroke Patients

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Feb 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. Cost-effective post-stroke rehabilitation programs are critically needed. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems which enable the modulation of EEG sensorimotor rhythms are promising tools to promote early improvements of motor rehabilitation outcomes after stroke. This project intends to boost this BCI application beyond the state of art by providing: i) evidence for a short/long-term efficacy in enhancing post-stroke functional hand motor recovery; and ii) quantifiable indices (beyond clinical scales) sensitive to stroke participant's response to a Promotoer (BCI system compatible with clinical setting) -based intervention. To these aims, a longitudinal randomized controlled trial will be performed in which, subacute stroke participants will undergo a Promotoer- assisted hand motor imagery training.
