This study aims to investigate whether a 2-week Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) training intervention induces changes in functional brain connectivity. To achieve this, we will acquire resting-state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) scans before and after the training period.
Efficacy
Outcome Measure: Resting-state functional connectivity MRI (rsfcMRI)
Timepoint: Before and after the 2-week intervention
Fugl-Meyer Assessment
Stroke Impairment Assessment Set
Modified Ashworth Scale
Motor Activity Log
Functional Independence Measure
Range of Motion
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Interventional
Single arm
Non-randomized

Treatment
| Device,equipment | 
A 2-week, non-invasive Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) intervention.
| 18 | years-old | <= | 
| Not applicable | 
Male and Female
Age: Patients must be 18 years of age or older.
Diagnosis: Patients who present with upper limb paresis caused by a stroke.
Severity of Paresis: A total score of 47 or less on the upper extremity motor section of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) for the affected limb.
Joint Contracture: Patients with a passive extension range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joints in the paretic hand of less than -10 degrees (i.e., a flexion contracture exceeding 10 degrees).
Time Since Onset: Patients in the chronic phase, defined as 180 days or more since the onset of upper limb paresis.
Cognitive Function: Patients who are unable to provide informed consent or have impaired decision-making capacity.
Severe Comorbidities: Patients with severe, unstable medical conditions (e.g., malignancy) that may interfere with the study procedures or safety.
Pregnancy and Lactation: Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have the possibility of being pregnant.
Implanted Electronic Devices: Patients with a cardiac pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or other active implanted electronic devices.
Implanted Magnetic/Metallic Materials: Patients with ferromagnetic materials in the body, such as intracranial aneurysm clips, surgical clips, cochlear implants, or artificial eyes.
Tattoos and Permanent Makeup: Patients with extensive tattoos (particularly those containing metallic dyes) or permanent makeup (e.g., eyeliner, eyebrows) that may cause burns during MRI.
Claustrophobia: Patients with a history of severe claustrophobia.
Inability to Maintain Position: Patients who are unable to remain in a supine position for approximately 30 minutes.
EEG Acquisition: Patients with scalp conditions or cranial deformities that would prevent the acquisition of a quality electroencephalogram (EEG).
Participation in Other Trials: Patients who have previously participated in other investigational trials for upper limb paresis.
Prior Antispasmodic Treatments: Patients who have previously received botulinum toxin therapy or nerve blocks (e.g., phenol block) for spasticity in the affected upper limb.
Investigator's Discretion: Patients deemed unsuitable for participation in the study for any reason by the investigator or physician.
