Application of the Triple Stimulation Technique to Patients With CNS Disorders Including Stroke
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Stroke Patients
- Interventions
- Procedure: Triple stimulation technique
- Registration Number
- NCT02354248
- Lead Sponsor
- Brugmann University Hospital
- Brief Summary
TST (Triple stimulation technique) helps to better quantify the proportion of motor units activated by transcranial magnetic stimulation. The abnormal amplitude registered by TST is proportional to the intensity of conduction disorders. The evaluation of these disorders is more precise with this technique than with the slowing of the central conduction time (CCT).
The investigators propose to use this technique in CNS pathologies where this disorder is significant and essential, like multiple sclerosis and stroke.
