Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
Augmented Efficacy of Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation on the Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Upper Limb Function in Patients With Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) are innovative treatments for patients with stroke. Therefore, augmented efficacy of rPMS on the rTMS is employed in this project. This proposal aims at exploring different novel treatment strategies in the treatment of UE dysfunction in patients with stroke: augmented efficacy of rPMS on the rTMS. Several aims in this study include (1) identifying the most optimal treatment protocols for rPMS (TBS treatment and nerve stimulation location), (2 ) establish a novel treatment protocol (augmented efficacy of rPMS on the rTMS), (3) identifying augmented efficacy of rPMS on the rTMS, (4) determining the mechanism of neuro-motor control, and (5) related biomarkers for the novel treatment protocol. The investigators applied a 3-year plan before, however, the Ministry of Science and Technology plan passed one year only (108-2314-B-182-043-). The investigators carried out the pilot study to investigate the augmented effects of rPMS (radial nerve) on the rTMS in the treatment of upper limb function in patients with stroke patients. The previous plan had preliminary results. This year the investigators will apply for a three-year plan to continue the previous pilot study for getting the comprehensive results.

Primary | Change from baseline Motion analysis at after treatment and three month | All participants will be instructed to perform a series of upper-extremity tasks. The tasks include reaching and grasping. An 7-camera motion analysis system (Vicon system, 3-D Oxfort Metrics Ltd, Oxford, UK) is used in conjunction with a personal computer to capture the movement of markers placed on the participant's body; analog signals were collected simultaneously. Movements were recorded at 120 Hz and digitally low-pass filtered at 5 Hz using a second-order Butterworth filter. Reference markers are placed on the distal interphalangeal joints of the thumb and index finger, the styloid process of the ulna, proximal end of the second metacarpal, and the object. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Primary | Change from baseline Motor evoked potential at afte treatment and three month | The comparison of baseline of Motor Evoked Potential for stroke after different therapy, including resting motor threshold (RMT), active motor thresholds (AMT), input-output curve (IO curve) and stationary period. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Primary | Change from baseline Myoton at after treatment and three month | The comparison of baseline of Myoton for stroke after different therapy, assessing the functional status of skeletal muscle, including tone or state of tension(natural oscillation frequency[Hz]), biochanical properties(dynamic stiffness [N/m], logarithmic decrement of natural oscillation), viscoelastic properties(mechanical stress relaxation time [ms], ratio of deformation and relaxation time, characterising Creep (Deborah number)). | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Primary | Change from baseline Muscle strength at after treatment and three month | The comparison of baseline of Muscle strength for stroke after different therapy, including lateral pinch, palmar pinch, and tip pinch, the strength will be tested by hand dynamometer. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Primary | Change from baseline Brunnstrom stage at after treatment and three month | The Brunnstrom stage is used to classify the severity of stroke patient according to specific movement. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Primary | Change from baseline Fugl Meyer Assessment at after treatment and three month | The Fugl Meyer Assessment is used to measure upper and lower extremity motor , range of motion, sensation, pain and balance. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Primary | Change from baseline Modified Ashworth Scale at after treatment and three month | The Modified Ashworth Scale is used to measure the muscle tone of affected limb, for each item minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 4, higher scores mean a worse outcome. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Action Research Arm Test at after treatment and three month | The Action Research Arm Test is used to measure bilateral gross manual and finger dexterity. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Box and Block Test at after treatment and three month | The Box and Block Test (BBT) measures unilateral gross manual dexterity. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Nine-Hole test at after treatment and three month | The Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is used to measure finger dexterity in patients with various neurological diagnoses. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Jebson Taylor Hand Function Test at after treatment and three month | The Jebson Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) is used to assess a broad range of unilateral hand functions required for activities of daily living(ADLs). | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Functional Independence Measure at after treatment and three month | The purpose of Functional Independence Measure(FIM) is to understand and track adult's life function performance, progress and goal achievement. There are three main areas: self-care, mobility, and cognition. The score is from 1 to 7 points, 1 is completely dependent, and 7 is completely independent. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Motor Activity Log at after treatment and three month | The Motor Activity Log(MAL) is used to measure the quality and quantity of a stroke patient when performing activities using the affected hand. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Wolf Motor Function Test at after treatment and three month | The Wolf Motor Function Test(WMFT) is used to measure unilateral motor quality and strength. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Nottingham Health Profile at after treatment and three month | The Nottingham Health Profile(NHP) is a questionnaire that assesses the quality of life associated with health. There are a total of 38 items, divided into six sub-items: mobility, social isolation, emotional response, pain, sleep and energy. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline Stroke Impact Scale at after treatment and three month | The Stroke Impact Scale(SIS) is used to measure the influence of several aspects after stroke, for each item minimum value is 1 and maximum value is 5, higher scores mean a better outcome. | baseline, after two weeks of treatment, 3 months |
