Does Physiotherapy Plus Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Improve Motor Recovery in Children With Acquired Brain Injury?
The current study will evaluate the feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with an existing intensive physiotherapy program for children with ABI within the in/day-patient brain injury program at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, Canada. This feasibility randomized control trial will allocate 30 participants with ABI (age …

Multisensory Stimulation Versus White Noise
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two interventions, white noise, and multisensory stimulation, during retinopathy examinations on premature infants. Retinopathy is a common eye disorder among premature infants, which can cause visual impairments if not addressed. The research used a randomized controlled experimental design, with premature infants randomly …

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the effect of non-invasive repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor control in progressive supranuclear (PSP). The central hypothesis is that augmenting cerebellar inhibition via cerebellar rTMS will decrease postural instability in patients with PSP by increasing functional connectivity between the …

Testing the Noradrenergic Hypothesis of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation
This study investigates the capacity of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, applied at the ear, to alter to measures of locus coeruleus output pupil diameter and EEG alpha power. Non-invasive alteration in locus coeruleus output is of interest in regard to basic science and has potential clinical implications in a number …

Effect of Brain Stimulation on Stepping Performance in Stroke Survivors and Healthy Adults
Participants are being asked to participate in a research study conducted by Shih-Chiao Tseng, PT, Ph.D. at Texas Woman's University. This research study is to determine whether low-intensive brain stimulation can enhance learning of a leg movement task. The investigators also want to know if brain stimulation can improve the …

Improving Insulin Sensitivity by Non-invasive Brain Stimulation
Efforts in curing and preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been elusive thus far. One reason for that is the lack of understanding of the role of the brain in the development and treatment of the disease. In recent studies, the hypothalamus was identified as part of a …

The Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Swallowing Functions in Stroke Patients With Dysphagia
In our study, our aim is to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation added to traditional dysphagia therapy in stroke patients with dysphagia, on functional oral intake status, dysphagia-related symptoms, quality of life, and complications related to dysphagia.

Effects of Auditory Brain Stimulation by "Pink Noise" on Memory Capacities in Alzheimer's Disease: Proof of Concept Study (PINK-AD)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting almost 6% of the world's population over the age of 65. This disease, in its most typical sporadic form, is characterized by an episodic memory impairment linked to a deficit in consolidation. Many studies indicate that sleep promotes this consolidation stage during …

Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation (tSMS) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of tSMS in ALS patients and to obtain preliminary data about the effects of tSMS on cortical excitability. To this purpose, 40 ALS patients will be recruited and randomized to real or sham tSMS. After 3 months follow-up, they will undergo tSMS, …
