Found 6 clinical trials
Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation (tSMS) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Clinical status will be tested before, during and after the stimulation period. Moreover, cortical excitability will be tested by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) before and after the stimulation period.

Individualized Brain Stimulation to Improve Mobility in Alzheimer's Disease
The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot, randomized sham-controlled trials to determine the feasibility and effects of a 10-session personalized tDCS intervention targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on cognitive function, dual task standing and walking, and other metrics of mobility in 24 older adults with mild …

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Constraint Induced Language Therapy for Alzheimer Disease
Impaired verbal communication is a cardinal symptom of Alzheimer Disease (AD) and the source of enormous distress and disability. Effective therapies for this deficit are lacking. In light of the emerging literature demonstrating that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) improves general cognition in subjects with Alzheimer Disease (AD), the investigators propose …

Effects of tDCS on Apraxia of Speech in Non-Fluent Primary Progressive Aphasia
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects first and foremost language abilities. There are three different variants of PPA, each a relatively distinct speech and language profile. For individuals with non-fluent variant PPA (nfvPPA), a core symptom is apraxia of speech (AOS), which is defined as an …

A Closed-loop Brain-computer Interface for Stroke
It may be hard to acquire stable sensorimotor rhythm from the affected motor cortex for patient without a response of paretic hand. A few studies suggest two ways to approaching closed-loop therapy: peripherally extracting the residual signals, for example electromyogram (EMG) at proximal muscles (deltoids) and centrally extracting the activity …
