In Japan stroke affects nearly 1.3 million people annually, with over 30% of the patients experiencing some degree of permanent paralysis in upper extremity. Thus, the effective treatments need to be developed as soon as possible. Recently, the new nurorebalitation based on neuroscience have been developed such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for post stroke upper extremity hemiplegia, and its efficacy has started to gather. However, there is not enough evidence on the functional improvement in chronic hemiplegia, and further intervention for post stroke hemiplegia is necessary. Therefore, to carry out stronger effect, we have combined CIMT which have the evidence level of grad A by AHA, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) which facilitate the plasticity of cerebral cortex, and peripheral electrical stimulation (PES). In this study, we conduct single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the effectiveness of Hybrid CIMT (HCIMT: combination of CIMT with tDCS and PES) and usual CIMT.

Patients in Hybrid Constraint-induced movement therapy (HCIMT) group receives 4-hour transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Peripheral Electrical stimulation (PES) before the therapy session: receive 20-minute tDCS and 10-minute PES before CIMT session. In the afternoon, they receive 20-minute tDCS and 10-minute PES, then 2-hour CIMT session. CIMT follows previous study (Takebayashi, et al,. Clini Reha 2013), where patients receive 4 hours of CIMT session per day for 10 days. The CIMT consist of three components: 1) concentrated training on hemiplegic arm, 2) task specific training, and 3) transfer package (translating the gain skill into their actual life). CIMT will be conducted by the trained occupational therapists. For tDCS, anode will be placed on the affect side of primary motor cortex, and cathode on the non-affected side of the primary motor cortex. Stimulus intensity would be 1mA. PES will target the extensor digitorum muscle, and stimulate. Stimulus intensity is below the threshold of muscle depolarization (approx. 3mA-5mA: adjusted to each subject), frequency at 20Hz, pulse width at 300micro second.
Patients in control group do not reviece any transcranial Direct Current Stimulation or Peripheral Electrical stimulation, and only receive 2-hour of Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in the morning and afternoon. CIMT follows previous study (Takebayashi, et al,. Clini Reha 2013), where patients receive 4 hours of CIMT session per day for 10 days. The CIMT consist of three components: 1) concentrated training on hemiplegic arm, 2) task specific training, and 3) transfer package (translating the gain skill into their actual life). CIMT will be conducted by the trained occupational therapists.
