Neuromodulation Effect of Focused Ultrasound for Motor Recovery in Patients With Stroke
National Taiwan University Hospital

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) can be used as a non-invasive brain neuromodulation technique. Low-intensity focused ultrasound has been demonstrated to be safe and have neuromodulatory effects on the cerebral cortex in healthy human and animal experiments.This study aims to investigate the effect of tFUS on cortical excitability for motor recovery in patients with stroke.

Interventions
The treatment protocol consists of once daily treatment for consecutive five tFUS sessions.
No ultrasound energy will be delivered (Mechanical Index, MI = 0); only the background music will be played (During each treatment session, the background music will be presented in the same way as in the experimental group during the operation of the focused ultrasound system). All other stimulation settings and procedures will be identical to those used in the experimental group
