Non-Invasive Deep Brain Stimulation for Upper Limb Recovery After Stroke (NIMBUS)

Brief Summary

NIMBUS is a clinical study evaluating a new, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to improve arm and hand function in people with long-term effects of stroke. The treatment uses a personalized method to stimulate deeper areas of the brain through the scalp, without surgery, while participants undergo intensive physiotherapy rehabilitation. Physiotherapy in combination with the brain stimulation will occur three times a day over the course of a week. In the study, participants are randomly assigned to receive either the active treatment or a sham (inactive) version, so researchers can compare the outcomes fairly. The study will assess whether the treatment is safe, feasible, and effective by measuring changes in arm movement, daily activities, and brain function before and after the treatment. The goal is to determine whether this approach can enhance recovery after stroke and support the development of improved rehabilitation therapies.
