Brief Summary

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

The RESTORE Stroke Study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of DBS+Rehab for treating arm weakness and reduced function after a stroke.

Detailed Description

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

The RESTORE Stroke Study combines two phases of study under one protocol (pilot/pivotal). The first phase has a sample size of 40 subjects. The second phase has an estimated sample size of 162 subjects which may be adjusted based on analysis of the first phase.

Each subject will be implanted with the DBS system, undergo DBS program optimization, and be randomized to test treatment (Tt) or active-control treatment (Ct). After randomization, all subjects will participate in a five-month outpatient rehabilitation therapy program. After five months of blinded randomized testing, subjects assigned to active-control treatment (Ct) will cross over to receive test treatment (Tt) and participate in a second five-month therapy program.
