Clinical Trial Tests Possible Benefits of Brain Stimulation on Hand and Arm
  Movement following Stroke
From: Medical Design Technology - 06/05/2014

Researchers at Shepherd Center are studying whether stimulating the brain
before rehabilitation could yield greater gains in motor function for people
recovering from stroke.

Shepherd Center is one of 12 US centers participating in a clinical trial
that is evaluating whether coupling navigated transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) of the brain with standard occupational therapy can
measurably improve hand and arm function following a stroke. Experts say this
approach could unlock a totally new, non-invasive treatment to promote
recovery and function.
