Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to clarify whether peripheral nerve somatosensory stimulation is effective in the rehabilitation of somatosensory deficits in patients with acute stroke. We will clarify the effects of peripheral nerve somatosensory stimulation on somatosensory and motor functions and the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the intervention effects.

Interventions/Control_1

Peripheral nerve somatosensory stimulation group
3 cm2 (1.5 x 2.0 cm) surface electrode is used as the stimulating electrode, and the peripheral nerves in the carpal region (median nerve and ulnar nerve) are stimulated. Electrical stimulation of both peripheral nerves is synchronized for simultaneous stimulation. Pulsed current is used for electrical stimulation, and the pulse width is 1 ms. Stimulation intensity is set at 90% of the motor threshold (the intensity at which weak contraction of the attached peripheral nerve-governing muscle is obtained), and the stimulation frequency is 20 Hz. The stimulation cycle is 2 seconds on/4 seconds off, and the stimulation duration is 20 minutes.

Interventions/Control_2

Sham Stimulation Group
In the sham stimulation group, electrodes are applied as in the peripheral sensory stimulation group, but no peripheral sensory stimulation is performed, and the subjects are placed in a sitting position for 20 minutes. The subjects are verbally informed that the sham stimulation is a peripheral sensory stimulation intervention of imperceptible intensity.
