Study Summary
This trial is investigating whether motor learning can help improve sensorimotor function after a stroke.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are right-handed and have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, with the ability to grip with their hand. They must not have severe communication difficulties, MRI risks, substance use disorders, certain types of multiple or cerebellar strokes, other neurological issues affecting the arm, dementia history, uncontrolled high blood pressure or be taking specific antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how learning tasks after a stroke affect brain plasticity and recovery of sensorimotor function. It involves performing visuomotor tasks while undergoing functional MRI scans to observe brain network dynamics in those recovering from a stroke compared to healthy volunteers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on learning tasks and imaging rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort during MRI scanning or fatigue from performing the visuomotor tasks.
