A Novel Method of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (kTMP) to Enhance Motor Function in Chronic Stroke Patients

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to test and validate a novel first-in-class non-invasive approach to enhance motor function in chronic stroke patients. The kilohertz Transcranial Magnetic Perturbation (kTMP) device allows the investigators to target frequency-specific neural activity non-invasively – with no patient discomfort – at and beyond stimulation intensities associated with enhanced recovery from stroke (up to 8 V/m), something that is not possible to achieve with existing NIBS methods.

The trial aims to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of kTMP in improving upper limb motor performance in patients suffering from chronic stroke. This clinical trial aims to target the perilesional motor cortex to assess both immediate and long-term improvement of motor performance, and corresponding physiological changes induced by kTMP stimulation.
