Evaluation of the Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation & Mirror

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate whether or not NMES in front of the mirror brings an additional benefit to mirror therapy alone or NMES alone on upper extremity motor and functional development, spasticity, anxiety, depression, cognitive function and activities of daily living, and neuropathic pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Cerebrovascular diseases are the general name given to clinical neurological pictures that occur as a result of pathological changes in the blood vessels of the primary lesion and / or in the properties of the blood passing through them. Many complications develop in the acute and chronic periods in patients with stroke, and the rate of complication development has been reported to vary between 40-96% in different studies. The aim of hemiplegic upper extremity rehabilitation is to prevent complications and improve lost motor-sensory control. Upper limb rehabilitation is less successful than lower limb rehabilitation because the upper limb is more functional and more complex. For muscle reeducation, NMES is used to strengthen inhibited muscle groups, facilitate voluntary isolated muscle contraction, prevent muscle atrophy, increase metabolism and enzyme activity, change the contractile properties of the muscle, maintain or increase the normal range of motion of the joint, develop voluntary movement and functional gains. NMES has been used in hemiplegia rehabilitation since 1960 for the purpose of functional retraining of muscles. The purpose of this treatment is to enable the muscles with impaired neural function of the electrical current to perform a functional and useful movement. Applications in front of the mirror are thought to trigger the neuronal connections in the motor cortex associated with the imagined movement. Findings obtained from studies with functional magnetic resonance support this theory. Compared to conventional PR, applications in front of the mirror are thought to have more and longer-lasting effects. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
