Interventions
Device: Combined EEG and fNIRS
Registration Number
NCT03034902

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether a combined electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) recording is able to detect changes in brain activity and blood flow after stroke.

GroupInterventionDescription
Combined EEG and fNIRSCombined EEG and fNIRSEEG is electroencephalography. fNIRS is functional near infrared spectroscopy. The EEG+NIRS recordings will be obtained via an extended EEG cap that is applied to the subject's head. Changes in neuronal activity and hemodynamics will be measured.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with abnormal neuronal activity as assessed by EEGimmediately at the time of combined EEG and fNIRS for up to 60 minutes

Abnormal neuronal activity is determined by comparing a part of the patient's brain not affected by stroke to a part of the patient's brain affected by stroke.

Number of participants with abnormal blood flow as assessed by fNIRSimmediately at the time of combined EEG and fNIRS for up to 60 minutes

Abnormal blood flow is determined by comparing a part of the patient's brain not affected by stroke to a part of the patient's brain affected by stroke.
