Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Multimodal imaging of stroke patients. Patients included in the study will be investigated with multiparametric imaging tools including MRI and EEG imaging. Improvements in motor skills will be monitored clinically.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We aim to (i) quantify the size of the brain lesion and assess the surviving functional neural network connections; (ii) Analyze the type and degree of inflammation initiated by the stroke-induced brain lesion. We will stratify inflammation according to lesion volume, surviving functional neural network connections, age, NIHSS and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and analyze how inflammation markers change during rehabilitation; (iii) Train the surviving neural network to create new synaptic connections that can maximize restoration of motor functions; (iv) Apply and develop advanced mathematical and computational methods to model and predict how stroke rehabilitation can rewire the neural network connections to best facilitate restoration of lost motor function.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stroke patients

Stroke patients admitted to the stroke unit, St Olav´s hospital, Trondheim, Norway, without previous stroke, neurological disease or central nervous system (CNS) trauma, will be eligible for inclusion into the study. The planned cohort size is 135 patients.

Kinematic movement analysis

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

moving arm/leg while registration with electromyography, electroencephalogram, accelerometers, functional near infrared spectroscopy and 3 dimensional video registration of hand, arm, foot and leg movements.

healthy volunteers

Age and gender matched controls without previous CNS disease or trauma are eligible for inclusion into the study. Estimated cohort size is 45 individuals. Volunteers will be recruited through announcement in local newspaper.
