Modulating Movement Intention Via Cortical Stimulation

Modulating Movement Intention Via Cortical Stimulation in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Psychogenic Movement Disorders and Non-epileptic Seizures

Sponsor

NYU Langone Health

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Jul 20, 2017

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Seizures Seizure Disorder Psychogenic Movement Disorder

Summary

The purpose of this protocol is to learn about movement intention and volition. To improve such knowledge, investigators will conduct sub-studies using multiple non-invasive methodologies. These results could provide preliminary data for subsequent studies evaluating local and global efficacy of plasticity-inducing treatments for PMD symptoms.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 65 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Anodal tDCS of left or right AG or FC, a medical device called Sham TMS3 stimulation, and others for people with psychogenic movement disorder, seizure disorder, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years to 65 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICESham TMS3 stimulation

half of the subjects will receive sham stimulation first

DEVICErTMS of left or right angular gyrus (AG) or frontal cortex (FC)

Half of the subjects will receive active stimulation first; A subject may receive either TMS or tDCS stimulation, but not both, over the course of the sub-study.

DEVICEAnodal tDCS of left or right AG or FC
