Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for young adults and individuals with stroke to help understand how touch signals travel through the nervous system. Participants will undergo assessments to measure these signals from the finger to the brain.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am right-hand dominant.
I am between 18 and 23 years old.
I have had a single stroke incident.
I had my stroke after the age of 18.
I am in the chronic phase of stroke recovery (more than 1 year after the stroke).
I can provide informed consent.
You may not be able to join if
I am a minor.
I am pregnant.
I am a prisoner.
I cannot consent for myself.
I have used antispastic injections in the past six months.
I have a lesion in my brainstem or cerebellum.
I had a stroke due to brain surgery.

Think this trial could be right for you?
Answer three quick questions written from this study's own rules to see if you may qualify. No account needed to find out.
Quantify the flow of a tactile signal from the stimulus at the finger at the peripheral nervous system (PNS), to the central nervous system (CNS), and to cognitive perception at the brain in young adults (Aim 1) and individuals with and without stroke (Aim 2).
