• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Rennes University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of early rehabilitation treatment by electroencephalographic neurofeedback on upper limb motor function after stroke. Researchers will compare : Interventional group: electroencephalographic neurofeedback + traditional reference rehabilitation programme Control group: SHAM electroencephalographic neurofeedback + traditional reference rehabilitation programme

Conditions

• Stroke
• Stroke Hemorrhagic
• Stroke, Ischemic
• Stroke Rehabilitation
• Brain Infarction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	electroencephalographic neurofeedback	The patient is installed in a quiet, isolated room in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. The patient sits comfortably in front of a computer. A nurse or a rehabilitator installs the EEG headset and places gel in the electrodes (x32). Connecting the amplifier and interface. Checking the correct positioning and contact of the electrodes (impedance). * Calibration phase at rest. * Working phase: the sessions last 24 minutes. The patient will be asked to concentrate on the affected arm, and to imagine a movement of this arm, to feel the sensations, without any real movement of the arm. * In the Neurofeedback group, the patient will receive visual feedback of a virtual hand moving on a computer screen in front of him/her, depending on his/her brain activations. He will also receive haptic feedback (vibrations) in the flexor muscles of his wrist.
OTHER	SHAM electroencephalographic neurofeedback	The patient is installed in a quiet, isolated room in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. The patient sits comfortably in front of a computer. A nurse or a rehabilitator installs the EEG headset and places gel in the electrodes (x32). Connecting the amplifier and interface. Checking the correct positioning and contact of the electrodes (impedance). * Calibration phase at rest. * Working phase: the sessions last 24 minutes. The patient will be asked to concentrate on the affected arm, and to imagine a movement of this arm, to feel the sensations, without any real movement of the arm. * In the SHAM group, the visual feedback and haptic feedback are randomly generated
