Boonzaier J, van Tilborg GAF, Neggers SFW, Dijkhuizen RM. Noninvasive Brain Stimulation to Enhance Functional Recovery After Stroke: Studies in Animal Models. This program includes a clinical trial, B-STARS (Brain STimulation for Arm Recovery after Stroke), in which we test if repetitive TMS has therapeutic effects in subacute stroke patients with hemiparesis. based on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) – in animal stroke models and hemiparetic stroke patients. Studies include testing the applicability and efficacy of different neurostimulation and –modulation strategies – e.g. We have recently initiated a translational research program that aims to establish safe and effective modulation of neural networks to enhance functional recovery after stroke through non-invasive brain stimulation. With imaging-based research, involving high-field MRI of neural network organization, optical imaging of neuronal activity, and MR spectroscopic imaging of neurotransmitter metabolism, we are attempting to determine how neurorestorative mechanisms contribute to functional recovery, and how these processes may be therapeutically enhanced. The most common functional deficits after stroke are sensorimotor impairments, especially no or limited ability to execute muscle movements with the affected arm or hand, and language deficits.
Many surviving stroke patients are left with moderate to severe functional deficits and long-term dependency on rehabilitation services.
