Motor Imagery BCI Rehabilitation After Stroke
Motor Imagery and Real-time Feedback in Stroke Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This research project will investigate motor imagery training in stroke rehabilitation during which patients receive feedback in real time from their brain activity measured with ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG). The investigators hypothesize that the feedback training allows to internally stimulate brain motor networks in order to promote functional recovery of the hand.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- If the research person is regularly treated with botulinum toxin in the upper extremity, 3 weeks should have passed before the first baseline assessment.
- metal implants in the brain/skull cochlear implants,
Other illness
- other neurological or musculoskeletal disease/injury, or contagious disease.
- current or history of epilepsy,
- any implanted neurostimulator, cardiac pacemaker or cardiac implants of metal, infusion device,
- any other neurological disorder,
- current or history of severe psychiatric disorder with need for pharmacological treatment
Other
- severe hearing or visual impairments,
- pregnancy,
Who the study is looking for
- \> 6 months since first time stroke onset and with remaining hemiparesis in upper extremity; able to participate fully in the intervention, able to perform Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI); able to passively extend the wrist 15 degrees and extend fingers fully with a neutral position of the wrist.
- In addition, participants need to be able to voluntarily control the power of their grip when requested according to the Visuomotor force tracking method and/or according to the clinical assessment of a therapist (while holding the patient´s hand). According to the Fugl- Meyer Upper Extremity (UE) scale participants should accomplish \<14 points on the hand subscale and \<2 points in finger flexion and extension (C) in addition to \< 47 points on the total motor score (equivalent to moderate disability in the upper extremity.
