Clinical Trial
Chronic Stimulation of the Motor Ventral Thalamus (VOP/VIM) for Motor Control in Humans
ClinicalTrials.gov5/10/2022·05/10/22🌐 USA
Summary
This trial evaluates chronic deep brain stimulation of the motor ventral thalamus (VOP/VIM) for motor recovery after stroke. The implantable device delivers continuous electrical stimulation to thalamic motor nuclei combined with intensive rehabilitation to enhance upper and lower limb function in chronic stroke patients.
Why it matters
Thalamic DBS for stroke recovery is an emerging approach that targets the brain's central motor relay. If effective, it could offer a new therapeutic option for chronic stroke patients who have plateaued in conventional rehabilitation, potentially restoring function years after the initial injury.
